I’ve finally decided to put my library card to work and read a bunch of novels this year. As I read them, I’d love to share them with you. So here it goes… quick little book summaries that hopefully get you interested in your own reading habits.
The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon (2021)
Contemporary romance. Shay Goldstein has worked in public radio for a decade; she’s a show producer but has always dreamed of being on air. Dominic Yun is new to the station but thinks he knows everything because he went to grad school. When the station wants to start a new dating and relationship show hosted by a broken-up couple, Shay and Dominic are picked because of the witty arguing they do (even though they’ve never dated). As they learn how to be exes, Shay and Dominic learn more about each other… and get closer (duh, it’s a romance novel). Clever integration of podcast transcripts between chapters. Starts as enemies-to-lovers, but barely. Fun, flirty, banter. Definitely enjoyable to read – I could totally see this one turning into a movie that I’d love to watch.
Keeping the romance alive… I’ve made some brush lettered printable bookmarks to go along with the couple from this book. Get the download here.
