The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not only am I a sucker for enemies turned lovers stories, this book also has something that always manages to grab my attention and make me laugh out loud: coworkers. And not only that! It is about radio cohosts!! Like, when was the last time you read a book about radio cohosts? Is radio still a thing anyway? to anyone else but me and my grandparents?

Honestly, despite that a big chunk of this book concentrates on making a public radio show, it still feels so current to me. And not only because I am a solid 28-year old millennial. But it’s not only because of my age that I could relate to our main characters Shay and Dominic, so much about them spoke to me on a spiritual level. All the melancholy about figuring out one’s adult life, the loneliness that comes with growing up, the feeling of being stuck in work limbo. I just felt understood. And that’s what made most of the book for me.

But it wasn’t just that. This was a romance after all, and a good one at that. There was great chemistry between Shay and Dom. I found myself constantly chuckling at their banter, I would totally listen to their podcast.

And don’t even get me started on that final time they were inside the recording booth together *swoon*. Over and out.
