Chapters on Wheelz

Rating: 3.5 / 5 stars (overall mixed but compelling in its own messy way)

If Ruth Jones’s name makes you think of Gavin & Stacey or Stella, you’re not alone — and your expectations likely bring a blend of warmth, wit, and sharply observed humanity. But Never Greener, her 2018 debut novel, is not a comedy with a neat laugh track. It’s a big, emotional, sometimes uncomfortable story about love, regret, and the way our choices echo through time.
