There's no escaping it. Esther knows what she has to do... Delving into her past, she decides to revisit them all in hopes of finding the one that got away. ___________________________________________________________________ "SEVEN EXES made me laugh out loud. It's fresh, fast-paced and joyous. Lucy Vine's writing is so warm and funny - her books are the literary equivalent of an amazing girls' night out." Beth O'Leary "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 'Funny, hopeful and agonisingly relatable, Esther is all of us. Lucy Vince writes with such compelling honesty, Seven Exes made me laugh, made me cry and made me want to call all my friends to tell them I loved them then call my exes to apologize/punch them in the nuts. Equal parts romcom and life lesson, it's a must-read.' Lindsey Kelk 'One of the freshest, funniest rom coms I've ever read... With so much heart and depth' Daisy Buchanan
