“Can you believe we hated each other a year ago?”
I don’t think I could have come up with a better situation for banter than a radio show/podcast. It’s literally the perfect vehicle for the flirting witty banter between Dominic and Shay that makes The Ex Talk such an addictive read.
Dominic and Shay’s chemistry is fabulous and I love their work rival-to- fake dating – to dating sequence. It kept me on my toes and invested. We really get to see them spend a lot of time together and really grow to appreciate and support one another. I was less invested in the family relationships – mostly because I feel like I didn’t get enough, and there was a bit of a friendship blow up in the story that was kinda lame, but didn’t detract too much from my enjoyment.
I could so easily see this as a movie in my mind, and with the rom-com resurgence happening, I would be thrilled to see Shay and Dominic’s story play out again.
I received a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
