It never quite happened between you, right? You almost kissed that NYE a few years ago, do you remember? But then didn’t. A sweary, panic-sweaty but ultimately rather endearing take on facing your demons — and realising that women’s magazine features should rarely be believed. Definitely don’t try this at home’ The Sunday Times I laughed, cried and (a couple of times) got irrationally angry —and in one particular scene got completely grossed out, but the bond of friendship and the unconditional support of the people you love was what really made this a standout read for me. Esther is 29, almost 30, with no real love life to speak of. On a drunken night at her go-to dingy pub with her two roommates, she finds an old magazine with an article titled “The Seven Relationships Every Woman Has in Her Quest To Find the One” (first love, work mistake, overlap, friend with benefits, missed chance, bastard, the serious one).
Hopefully you stopped before your platonic closeness was destroyed completely – unlike Esther, whose FWB arrangement with Alex – not only a friend but her flatmate! What was she thinking!’ The Missed Chance The story centers around Esther, but Bibi and Louise are essential characters. All three characters showed significant personal growth.Bursting with sparky humour. Esther and her female friends are a joy and Esther's search for the boy from her past who may or may not have got away is both funny & moving. -- Jill Mansell When an affluent university professor is found brutally murdered in his sweeping mansion, which remains half-ruined following a fire decades before, there's only one suspect; the man who has been caught on the home's CCTV system. So when Katie gets a call from a detective about her estranged younger brother, she knows she has to make up for abandoning him all those years ago. However, even she can't possibly comprehend just how much danger he is in. Every single main character was unlikable. It became clear early on that most of Esther’s relationships ended because of her. She had such a sabotaging and doubtful mentality from the get go for each situation, which really made it difficult to want to pity her or cheer for any second chance romances. You’ll recognise this ex from the horrible combination of cringe you feel at the mention of their name, and the fact that you turn into a gibbering, awkward teenager again every time you spot them in town during that Christmas visit home. SEVEN EXES was such a joy to read. I adore everything Lucy writes but I think this is her best one yet. -- Holly Bourne
According to the magazine’s dating column, there are seven archetypes a woman will date before finding Mr. Right. It all seems silly at first, until Esther realizes she has exactly seven exes that match the profiles: The First Love, The Work Mistake, The Overlap, The Friend with Benefits, The Missed Chance, The Bastard, and The Serious One. Is it so hard to believe that perhaps one of them is The One?Riotously funny, charming, and nostalgic, Seven Exes is a truly optimistic look at turning 30 and all the mess that can come with. Superb! -- Laura Jane Williams Clever, perceptive and screamingly funny, Seven Exes is a joyous commentary on the mores and mysteries of modern dating and how past loves can shape our future. Throw in some delicious nostalgia, some genuinely sexy love interests and Vine's mastery of female friendships in all their frank and messy glory, and it's a book you'll never, ever want to break up with. -- Lauren Bravo Fun, playful and warm, SEVEN EXES is a whirlwind of book. Riotous yet sincere, lighthearted yet thoughtful, this book is absurdly entertaining and will make you laugh like you're with old friends -- Caroline Hulse
