'A moving story ... I enjoyed this book.' --Woman's Way
Product Description
Meet feisty, fun-loving Ruby Ross thirty-four, mad red hair, mad (in general), adopted and searching for answers ... like, precisely whose genes are responsible for the mad red hair ... She's impulsive, compulsive and unaware of what she's about to unleash in her quest for the truth. Isobel Ross is larger than life (despite being a serial dieter) and lives in a picturesque cottage in Donegal in the grounds of a manor-house hotel but why are the new hotel-owners so keen to get rid of her? She's harbouring secrets from the past and fiercely protective of her adopted daughter Ruby. Can she stop the wilful Ruby from opening a nasty can of worms? Throw in Ruby's forthcoming nuptials to the lovely Luke, a bling-loving bridesmaid in the shape of her best friend Frankie, a wedding planner called Gabriel who wears more make-up than the bride-to-be and you have chaos. Add to the mix a dusty box found by chance which leaves many questions unanswered, and you have a bewildered and rather ferocious Ruby asking is there ... Anyone For Me?

What is it with Irish authors and how come they are all amazing in their work?? This is another that does not fail when it comes to gripping you with the plot , making you laugh ( and for me making me feel right at home!). The first book I have read from Fiona Cassidy and I enjoyed every single moment of it. Ruby has more than her fair share on her plate and I couldn't help but love her , she is straight to the point, and like me hates frills and nonsense . This is reflected in her wedding preparations and her arguements with the flamboyant Gabriel who is employed as her wedding planner had me in stitches.
While funny moments abound there is the more serious issue of her trying to find her birth mother ( and some of her emotions I saw in a friend who had the same dilemma ) , deal with not hurting her natural mum in her quest to find where she came from and dealing with her friend's cancer scare. Everyone should have a friend like Ruby, mad yet caring to those around her.
I warmed to the book straight away , the colloquialisms made me feel right at home and so many things I have said or heard say ie:- the state of the roads in the South ( they really were full of pot holes at one point and you always knew when you had crossed the border from North to South! ), my dad always gave out about it!
Lots of interlinking issues are carried through in this book and I was sorry when it was finished.

I have just finished "Anyone for Me?" & can honestly say that from start to finish, this was such an enjoyable read. Whilst dealing with the serious issue of the main character seeking her birth mother, Fiona Cassidy made her 2nd novel informative & fun to read. I am sorry to have finished this book, but do think that Ms Cassidy is the Northern Irish Marion Keyes! Well done & I can't wait for your 3rd novel. A joy to read, which made me smile!

Anyone for Me
Fiona's first book Anyone For Seconds introduces the reader to Frankie McCormick, her lovely family, and her best friend, the fiesty and loyal Ruby. Ruby is a main character in that book and helps Frankie along the stormy path to love and a happy second home for her kids Ben and Carly, plus the new addition, a beautiful baby boy.
Ruby doubted she would ever find love herself, but is smitten with Luke, the brother of the then receptionist Mandy where she and Frankie both worked.
Her story is cleverly introduced in the first book and the reader picks her story up as easily as an old friend in Anyone For Me?
Ruby has always known she was adopted when a baby and has had a very happy childhood with loving parents. Her adoptive father recently passed on leaving a huge hole in Ruby's life, and when she and Luke decide to marry, she feels the need to contact her birth mother. Her adoptive mother is at first upset because she fears Ruby will end up hurt - she and her husband were told by the social workers that Ruby's mother didn't love her, neglected her and was generally a trollop not worth looking at.
Ruby is determined though to find the truth, and in spite of all the catastrophes and hilarious events caused by her gay wedding planner, her friends and mother, Ruby ploughs on with her quest.
The story is one of love, loss, family angst, friendship, loyalty and the excitement of a wedding changing the fiesty and loud tomboy Ruby into a beautiful mature woman who has finally found true love in all the right places and in her art.
This book was a great continuation of Frankie's story in Anyone For Seconds, and I am waiting for Fiona's next book about the friends and family I have come to adore, as a reader.
I would recommend this and Fiona's first book to those who like a good story told with humour, sadness and sensitivity. A page turner for sure.
