"Ruby is a genius humanoid who was grown in a secret lab at the local university, created to solve science's greatest problems. But Ruby suspects she can't fulfill her function while trapped inside, so she breaks out. Now living among humans, Ruby attempts to lie low and fit in as a barista at the university coffeehouse, Inkcap. Working there gives her plenty of opportunity to figure out what problems people need solving. And as far as she can tell, most humans' biggest problem is struggling to find happiness. And what makes them happy? Love! So, Ruby uses her superpowered brain to play cupid. As Ruby sets to work pairing up the staff and regulars at Inkcap, she feels more and more human herself: she's got a community now, maybe even a crush. But the lab believes she's dangerous, and it wants her back. When pursuing her own happiness leads Ruby straight into a trap, she'll need her new motley crew of coffeehouse friends to save her from the scientist who only want to use her."--Publisher.
