Very cute!!! I enjoyed this story and both characters.
I listened to the audiobook and I really enjoyed the narrator. I thought she had a great guy voice.

Maybe more of a 3.5
Fun, sweet, 24-hour read that made me teary and giggly.

I adored THE EX TALK by Rachel Lynn Solomon, and it's firmly ensconced with my favorite rom coms for its sharp banter, sarcastic humor, and delicious high concept.
Shay Goldstein, senior producer at her Seattle public radio station, pitches the idea of The Ex Talk to save her struggling station. The show, where two exes deliver relationship advice live, on air, is greenlit on the condition she co-hosts with her newest colleague and rival, Dominic Yun. They haven't dated, but they're always at each other's throats, so that's good enough, right? While neither wants to lie, it's this or unemployment, so they jump in. But the bigger their show gets, the bigger the lie... and the closer they become.
I came for the premise and stayed for the chemistry. Both Shay and Dominic felt so real and spoke to my millenial heart with their existential crises kept at bay by rescue dogs, wit, and, eventually, a deep and swoon-worthy connection.

As it often happens with adult romances, I am confused once again as to what to rate this book. Three would mean I didn't like it but four would mean there's nothing problematic in here.
I guess I will settle for 3.5 which I very much hate to do.
But it is the middle point that indicates, I enjoyed it all right but I think there are some issues too. Will it stop you from enjoying the book? No. I guess not.
As you can tell from the synopsis it's a fake breakup story with a girl you never dated. It comes with haters to lovers trope and I am always down for that. If you are into that, it's worth giving a shot.
