Ruby Clyde is a rising talent, known for their comedy writing and acclaimed performances as half of the comedy duo Shelf   Praise for Jay's Guide to Crushing It "The word ‘heartwarming’ is overused when it comes to teen love but Clyde’s debut, about a teenager who is forced to dress more like a girl when they move to a new school, is genuinely that… This sweet and tender romance will offer hope to all teenagers who feel constrained by societal and parental expectations.” THE BOOKSELLER – ONE TO WATCH REVIEW "This emotional romcom [.] shows the importance of living life on your own terms” Children's Books Ireland
