Ruth Nineke Libros

A memoir about abuse, addiction, depression, failed romance, and self-harm on the quest to happily ever after. With her debut non-fiction effort, Aquarius and self-proclaimed misanthrope, Ruth Nineke reveals bite-sized portions of her personal history, thought processes, dreams, and rationalizations. #MOODS is like a slightly uncomfortable first date with an introspective (if somewhat disconnected) individual trying hard to recognize and deconstruct her own issues, hoping to mature into someone decidedly less dysfunctional. Shared here are notable life experiences which have shaped Nineke into the woman she is, and which set the scene for her future transformation. She delivers this memoir to inspire others as much as to help herself learn to let go and move on.

Set in the competitive world of recruitment, the story follows 23-year-old Caitlyn, a driven Junior Placement Specialist in Manhattan, as she strives for a promotion. While she focuses on her career ambitions, her long-distance boyfriend, David, pushes for a more secure relationship, including marriage. Caitlyn's reluctance to conform to traditional roles and her determination to carve her own path create tension as she navigates personal and professional challenges.
