Synopsis

Esther is out with her two friends, bemoaning her lack of relationship, when she finds a magazine from the noughties. Seeking comfort – and a laugh – she turns to the dating advice only to find an article that feels a little too close to home. According to the journalist, there are seven people a woman will date before finding the one:

The First Love, The Work Mistake, The Friend with Benefits, The Overlap, The Missed Chance, The Bastard and The Serious One. 

Her friends laugh but Esther realises each of her exes fits these roles perfectly. Deciding that she’s mistaken her true love in the reject pile she decides to contact each of her exes to find out which is the one that got away...

My Review

Ad pr

This book was just the uplift I needed. A little while ago I was heading for a slump and usually, I can drag myself out of it with my favourite genre but it didn’t seem like that was going to work this time. But then I picked up Seven Exes and had my reading slump status completely turned on its head.

I loved the premise. From the start, I was completely enthralled by Esther and whilst amid a moaning marathon about her love life whilst out with friend, she comes across a magazine from the noughties. The writer states that there are seven people a woman will date before finding the one:

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙊𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙖𝙥, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙊𝙣𝙚.

This sends Esther on a journey to contact all of her exes to find out which one was the ‘one that got away’.

I laughed plenty and found myself sniggering on more than one occasion and found that I could truly relate to how Esther was feeling about the ups and downs of turning thirty ( although for me it was turning forty )

I haven’t read any other books by Lucy yet, but if they are anything to go by this one then I’m all in.

The characters are all brilliantly written, I laughed, I cried and at the end of it all I wanted to phone up every friend I had and recommend they read it straight away! It also makes you wonder… would I want to go back and rehash all of my past relationships? I decided not but it was hilariously frustrating to watch Esther turn back the clock on her dating life!

If you love a laugh-out-loud with the occasional emotional moments Rom-Com then add this one to your tbr.

✨ Thank you @randomthingstours for this blogspot and @simonandschuster for my gorgeous copy, oh and @lucyvineauthor for writing the perfect book to pull me from my slump 😉
