The Ex Talk

De: Rachel Lynn Solomon

Narrado por: Emily Ellet

An instant Indie best seller

Public radio cohosts navigate mixed signals in Rachel Lynn Solomon's sparkling romantic comedy debut.

Shay Goldstein has been a producer at her Seattle public radio station for nearly a decade, and she can't imagine working anywhere else. But lately it's been a constant clash between her and her newest colleague, Dominic Yun, who's fresh off a journalism master's program and convinced he knows everything about public radio.

When the struggling station needs a new concept, Shay proposes a show that her boss green-lights with excitement. On The Ex Talk, two exes will deliver relationship advice live, on air. Their boss decides Shay and Dominic are the perfect cohosts, given how much they already despise each other. Neither loves the idea of lying to listeners, but it's this or unemployment. Their audience gets invested fast, and it's not long before The Ex Talk becomes a must-listen in Seattle and climbs podcast charts.

As the show gets bigger, so does their deception, especially when Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other. In an industry that values truth, getting caught could mean the end of more than just their careers.

Such a cute story!

This was a cute little story. Predictable but very cute and fresh. it's paced well. The narrator did a great job voicing lots of characters. I really enjoyed it

Eh

Hated the narrators voice and her “man voice.” Also I felt like there was a lot of cussing for the sake of sounding young haha.

This contemporary romcom has a very authentic feel with an endearing fleshed out character. A delightful read..

Such a cute story

I really loved the story and the characters were lovable! The narrator did a great job as well.

Perfecto

Me encantó la historia! Un poco predecible; pero lo que no me esperaba es el mega boom en mi corazón con la narración! Me perdí por completo en la manera en la que la Narradora cuenta la historia!! Fenomenal!! Mil estrellas para ella!! Creo que comienzo a amar los audio libros.

Swoony, endearing romance!

Loved this story from beginning to end. The narrator was the perfect, the characters were relatable and I totally recommend!

got me our of my reading slump!

What an adorably sweet romance, perfect for getting me out if my reading slump.

This book is about two coworkers who have enough tension between each other that they effectively convince the world they are exes on the radio. With their forced proximity and the fake "ex dating" these two quickly realize they should have been dating from the start.

I loved how light hearted and easy this read was. There was not unnecessary drama between them. They were two adults who realize they like each other while pretending like they liked each other in the past. I loved the fact that the heroine was older than the hero and the representation of an interracial couple. I highly recommend this read when you're struggling getting into a book and want a fun and quick read!

Cute romance

4/5 stars.

I really liked this one. The audiobook was great! I loved the premise, the storyline, and the characters. It’s also a rare romance that has a woman who is older than the man (only by like 6 years but still).

I took a star off because I wasn’t satisfied by the way it ended. The actual ending was good, but there were some things that the main guy character did and did not do that I wasn’t happy with. I don’t think he deserved forgiveness, and I didn’t like the way it was handled. I also wish the a-hole boss could have been dealt with in a more satisfying way. It felt like those sorts of gender discrimination issues were talked about and addressed in the book, but there was no satisfying resolution.

All in all I really like this authors books.
