Shay Goldstein has worked at her Seattle radio station for nearly a decade. But lately she's been clashing with her new colleague, Dominic Yun - who's fresh off a journalism course and convinced he knows everything about radio.

When the station needs a new concept, Shay proposes 'The Ex Talk', where two exes give relationship advice live on air. Given they already despise each other, Shay and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts.

Their spiky dynamic is an instant hit, and soon 'The Ex Talk' is climbing the charts.

But when Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other, is this the start of something amazing - or the end of their careers?

This book is quick, spicy, and sweet The Ex Talk is so many things: a banter-packed laugh-out-loud rom-com, a meditation on how grief shapes our lives and our love, an ode to the joys of public radio and podcasting, and an all-around exquisite romance . . . we'll call it a breath of fresh air The Ex Talk is an expertly crafted contemporary romance as well as a passionate love letter to public radio. With a crisp and affectionate attention to detail, Rachel Lynn Solomon breaths life across her pages that's so relatable you could sink right in Forget fake dating ... fake exes is where it's at! The Ex Talk has all the public radio nerdiness that you didn't know was missing from your life. An absolute delight of a read! This book gave me genuine butterflies. I fell in love with Shay and Dominic falling in love Delightfully romantic and emotionally uplifting The transition from enemies to lovers is handled with wit and humour which puts an unexpected twist on the fake relationship trope Solomon makes her adult debut with this sizzling rivals-to-lovers romcom, where the heat comes from both precise characterization and a focus on direct communication. Bursting with zest and deep emotion, this one's a winner Expand reviews
