I get setting a story up, but it felt really long to get there. There were a decent amount of scenes that didn’t really need to be there and by the time we got to the real plot of the story, we were a decent way into the book. Beginning: It took a while to get into the novel and get the ball rolling.

It was fun and you know that there’s going to be fallout, but it’s done in a decent way that definitely harkens back to the beginning of the book that’s nice. Plus the age gap being where Shay was older was a nice change (although it was brought up a bit too much). I felt like the trip in the middle of the book was out of left field, but it was cute. I thoroughly enjoyed the twist on the workplace/enemies-to-lovers/fake dating tropes.

Plot: Yeah, there are ethical issues around the premise of the story, but it’s a fun read.

You stay the age that you dealt with trauma. It reminds me of something Taylor Swift said (I think in the Miss Americana doc) that you stay the age of when you became famous–or something like that. Sometimes awful things happen and you’re stuck at that age. I can get that, but I think her “immaturity” is a good thing in the book.

Realities of Adulthood: I’ve had a couple of conversations with people about this book and one thing that people said was that Shay was a little immature.

Don’t we all have those conversations? But overall it was great, witty banter that I will forever be looking for in future reads! Yeah there are moments when it gets a little cringy, but c’est la vie.

Dialogue: I had the best time reading this book because of the dialogue.

The dialogue was out of this world and literally made me laugh out loud. Shay’s backstory and her family and friends were beautifully created and I really appreciated the growing pains of adulthood that were put in there. He was such an interesting character to me and I wish there would have been more of his family in the story.

Let me say that it did live up to most of my expectations! I loved Dominic. The premise is interesting, the characters sounded fun, and the author had been there before. When I first saw the overview for this book online back in December I was hooked. But as the show gets stronger, so do their feelings for each other. This is a dream come true for Shay even if that does mean she has to spend time with Dominic. Her boss puts her and Dominic in the booth. When funding starts to run out, Shay puts forth an idea: a show about exes discussing dating. She doesn’t love her coworker Dominic Yun, a new hire that’s a little too sure of himself. The Ex Talk Synopsis: Shay Goldstein loves her job at the Pacific Public Radio in Seattle.
