How does Mona Kasten's Save You end?
Just like the show, Save You starts with James cheating on Ruby after he finds out this mother Claudelia has died. He kisses another girl drunk at a party and Ruby breaks up with him. Unlike the series, James doesn't have a car crash but he does decide to stop drinking of his own accord after his mother's funeral.
James doesn't go to therapy in the book but he does start doing everything to get back with Ruby. Just like the show, she begins to let her walls down again and their romance continues. However, their relationship is put to the test at the end of Save You.
In the final chapters, Ruby learns that she's been accepted into Oxford. However, someone sends photos James took of Ruby and Mr. Sutton together at the start of the first book to the Principal and Ruby is expelled from Maxton Hall. Of course, Ruby can't go to Oxford if she doesn't finish her final year.
On top of that, James admits that he took the photos. As a result, the book ends with readers unsure if Ruby and James can overcome this hurdle in their relationship. The Principal also has no idea that Lydia secretly dated Mr. Sutton NOT Ruby.
Whether or not Maxton Hall season 2 makes any edits to the ending of Save You is yet to be seen. However, we imagine the main plot points of the story will stay the same.
