书籍简介

这本书非常有趣，令人心碎——当 Ruby 在 50 岁生日前夕发现自己患上癌症时，她决定开始生活而不是顺从……

Ruby 一直是她的朋友、家人和同事之间的慷慨调解人，这就是为什么他们都来庆祝她的 50 岁生日。

但在喝了太多杯香槟之后，Ruby 抓住机会，在聚光灯下透露了她对他们每个人的真实想法。她指责丈夫有外遇，并痛斥母亲一辈子让三个女儿互相争斗——这太残酷了。

当震惊的人群目瞪口呆地看着 Ruby 时，这位生日女孩透露她患有晚期癌症，并已将毕生积蓄兑现，带着她两个疏远的姐妹前往夕阳下，接受 HRT（丈夫替代疗法）。但 Ruby 是勇敢还是冷酷无情的自私？

An outrageously funny, heartbreaking read - when Ruby finds out she has cancer on the brink of her 50th birthday, she decides to start living instead of complying...

Ruby has always been the generous mediator among her friends, family and colleagues, which is why they've all turned up to celebrate her 50th birthday.

But after too many glasses of champers, Ruby takes her moment in the spotlight to reveal what she really thinks of every one of them. She accuses her husband of having an affair and lambasts her mother for a lifetime of playing her three daughters against each other - it's blisteringly brutal.

As the stunned gathering gawks at Ruby, the birthday girl reveals that she has terminal cancer, and has cashed in her life savings to take her two estranged sisters cruising into the sunset for a dose of HRT - Husband Replacement Therapy. But is Ruby being courageous or ruthlessly selfish?
