I really enjoyed this. Right story, relatable and realistic characters and relationships, the occasional funny commentary of modern life. I listened via Hoopla and would recommend if you’re looking for a fun read, not too heavy.

A delightful story. Stephen McCauley writes with wit and an open heart, and it is always a treat to see how things might work out.

I had the pleasure of having Stephen McCauley as my Creative Writing professor at Brandeis. His classes were always dynamic and inspiring to my own relationship with writing. 'My Ex-Life' was a heartwarming, unpretentious tale of two people with a strong connection finding each other again years later in life. Nothing to complain about with the side characters either. Highly recommend to fiction lovers-- and especially lovers of interior design + Airbnb!
