I went back and forth on 3 or 4 stars. It truly is a 4 star book and a very enjoyable read with some great messages about friendship. I was leaning toward 3 stars only because of the title. While Ruth was part of the book, there were so many other dinners and it was a well-written memoir from a phenomenal woman. The title irked me because it felt like a way to capitalize on Ruth's notoriety around the time of her death.
