The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon
3.0
Have you ever been disappointed by a happy ending?
Alright look, was the book good? YES, I enjoyed the writing and the characters and I feel like the conflicts were realistic and necessary for character growth and all of that. I am ALWAYS HERE for an enemies to lovers trope and we absolutely got that here! It got messy and that’s REAL. I loved the little queer rep thrown in, along with the Jewish rep and Asian rep in the main characters. Diverse characters keep me engaged and I appreciate the story more, makes it more believable. Tbh it felt a little forced but I’m willing to overlook that! In the middle, the author HAD ME. I needed to know what happened to the characters. I loved the descriptions of the angst and tension, it wasn’t cringe at all, it made me root for the characters to end up together. We even got the “there’s only one bed” trope and I hadn’t expected it!
