Summary
Esther is out with her two friends, bemoaning her lack of relationship, when she finds a magazine from the noughties. Seeking comfort – and a laugh – she turns to the dating advice only to find an article that feels a little too close to home. According to the journalist, there are seven people a woman will date before finding the one:
The First Love, The Work Mistake, The Friend with Benefits, The Overlap, The Missed Chance, The Bastard and The Serious One.
Her friends laugh but Esther realises each of her exes fits these roles perfectly. Deciding that she’s mistaken her true love in the reject pile she decides to contact each of her exes to find out which is the one that got away...
'Clever, perceptive and screamingly funny...a book you'll never, ever want to break up with' LAUREN BRAVO
'Funny, hopeful and agonisingly relatable, Esther is all of us. Lucy Vine 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 apologise/punch them in the nuts. Equal parts romcom and life lesson, it's a must-read' LINDSEY KELK
'Riotously funny, charming, and nostalgic, Seven Exes is a truly optimistic look at turning thirty and all the mess that can come with. Superb!' LAURA JANE WILLIAMS
‘A joy to read. I adore everything Lucy writes but I think this is her best one yet' HOLLY BOURNE
'It’s clever, charming and addictive – it’s everything you want from a romantic comedy' YOU online

Very funny and very moving
A compelling story of friendship as family and of one woman’s search for self-acceptance via revisiting each of her seven exes. So funny and so poignant and full of joy. Loved it.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this book, but it wasn’t one of Lucy Vine’s best. The main character could be really annoying at some times, but overall a fun read.

A great holiday read.
Let's face it, we've all got seven (if not more) exes, but Vine asks us to revisit the 'could of beens'! I firmly believe that an ex is an ex for a reason, and going back never works, so I was thrilled to read this book. To see if I could be convinced otherwise.
I did guess the end midway through, which spoilt the plot for me but a brilliant read for the beach or a weekend getaway. I must congratulate Lucy Paterson's narration. Brilliant.

Awful MC
the story centred around a totally pathetic MC who couldn't cope in life without a partner. plenty of this book made me cringe and it was pretty obvious from the start what was going to happen. I get cheesy books, but this didn't have any of the usual 'feel good factor'. I just wanted to slap her

Awful book
The main character is completely unlike able, she is selfish, entitled and self involved. This would be fine if this was intentional within the story but due to the other characters reactions to her we are obviously meant to root for her. I found this book very irritating to listen to, so much so that this is the first and only review I’ve ever written!
