Ruth Mitchell strongly believes the world needs more happy endings. She aims to write “hospital waiting room” books, stories that cheer and distract readers when their world is crumbling, make them laugh and sigh, and finish with a little more hope. All of her books are love stories with plenty of banter, and sizzling chemistry, but no spice. (Just kissing.)
Ruth and her husband live in San Diego, where their four mostly-grown children visit often. She loves long rambling conversations, baking (she makes the best pie), hiking, and running (slowly) along the coasts and canyons of Southern California.

Childhood Crushes Done Right!
This was such a charming read! The alternating POVs made it so much fun to watch Elinor and Edward try their hardest to appear distant and professional while literally everyone around them could see what was goi" Read more of this review »
Unromantic by Ruth       Mitchell
""My mom and sister call me unromantic, but that isn't true. I am simply careful with my heart. Because I know just how easily I could lose it."

I am very picky about my Austen adaptations. In my experience, the best ones pay homage to and acknowledge " Read more of this review »

I initially planned on releasing Tolerable in November 2024 as a Christmas book. In my initial draft the subtitle was a Modern Christmas Pride and Prejudice. Though the action in the book lasts a full calendar year, it begins and ends with Christmas. ...more

Ibram X. Kendi
“the only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it. The attempt to turn this usefully descriptive term into an almost unusable slur is, of course, designed to do the opposite: to freeze us into inaction.”
