Forced myself to finish. The protagonist is so self-absorbed and unaware that it’s painful.

Seven Exes is a fun, witty, and chaotic romantic comedy that plays with the idea of revisiting past relationships to find “The One.” Esther, the protagonist, is on a mission to reconnect with her exes based on the theory that one of them was her soulmate all along. What follows is a whirlwind of awkward encounters, hilarious mishaps, and heartfelt realisations.

Lucy Vine’s signature humour shines through, with sharp dialogue and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Esther is a relatable and messy protagonist, and her journey of self-discovery is just as engaging as the romantic plotline. The supporting characters, especially her friends, add depth and warmth to the story.

While the premise is entertaining, the middle section drags slightly, and some exes feel more compelling than others. However, the mix of nostalgia, chaos, and unexpected twists keeps the story engaging. The ending is satisfying, making it a charming and enjoyable read for fans of modern rom-coms with a unique twist.
