At twenty-years-old, Robin MacKenzie is waiting for his life to start. Waiting until his summer working at a Philly restaurant is over and he's back with his boyfriend Peter. . .until the spring semester when he'll travel to London for an acting program. . .until the moment when the confidence he fakes starts to feel real.
"Engaging. . .capturing intimately the mood of the period." –Publishers Weekly
Then, one hot June weekend, Robin gets dumped by his boyfriend and quickly hits the road with his best friend George to find his teenaged sister, Ruby, who's vanished from a party at the Jersey Shore.
"A fresh, eloquent perspective to the oft-writ story of sexual and romantic coming of age." –Book Marks
But Ruby is on an adventure of her own, dressing in black, declaring herself an atheist, pulling away from the boyfriend she doesn't love--not the way she loves the bands whose fractured songs are the soundtrack to her life. Then a chance encounter puts Ruby in pursuit of a seductive but troubled boy who might be the key to her happiness, or a disaster waiting to happen. Now as their paths converge, Ruby and Robin will confront the sadness of their shared past and rebuild the bonds that still run deep. . .
"Lush. . .bittersweet. . .two characters who gleefully leap off the page." –Bay Area Reporter

reviewed Robin and Ruby on April 11, 2010 Robin and Ruby
This is a deeply satisfying novel about a brother and sister and the jersey shore, and the mysteries of the human heart. Completely engaging. It's been over three weeks now since i finished this book, and it's still floating around in my head. Soehnlein's characters are sharply and deeply drawn, and the prose is immaculate. But the great success of this book is that the writer does what so few novelists can do, capture an entire world, an entire era, and make it come alive.
