Wendy is Ruth’s best friend since childhood. In many respects, Wendy is Ruth’s opposite: she is extroverted, loud, confident, and self-assured, and she isn’t shy about confronting her husband, Joe, about things that bother her about their relationship. Ruth loves her unafraid friend for pushing her to do things she would otherwise avoid. For example, Wendy convinces Ruth to attend the yoga class where Ruth first meets Art.
