...whether you live in the country or the city, whether you're in souvenir sales or corporate business--the big questions remain the same. In depicting this proud girl's experiences, "Ruby in Paradise" becomes a picture essay of life in the South Florida resort town and offers some 1990s answers to age-old dilemmas. For example, when Ruby is visiting her new boyfriend, Mike, at the plant nursery where he works, she remarks on how perfect the boss's family appears, but quickly adds that it is the woman who always seems to bear the burden for this serenity...

With this fluffy little book, as indeed with all her projects, she seems determined to knock over as many sacred cows as she can lay her hands on--and have a jolly good time, to boot! Good for her. But Enough is Enough, a slim volume of jocular ripostes interspersed with Finley's childlike line drawings, is the most standard and facile anti-establishment fare imaginable...
