I imagine if I'd been madly shipping them that it would have been all the more exciting. This part of the book was done well, but it was a shame that I never warmed to the main couple - Shay and Dominic - like I was supposed to. I'll give some credit where it's due: Solomon writes steamy sex scenes.
The hype made me try this one, but I'm sorry to say The Ex Talk was just not my cup of tea. In an industry that values truth, getting caught could mean the end of more than just their careers. Their audience gets invested fast, and it's not long before The Ex Talk becomes a must-listen in Seattle and climbs podcast charts.Īs the show gets bigger, so does their deception, especially when Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other. Neither loves the idea of lying to listeners, but it's this or unemployment. Their boss decides Shay and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts, given how much they already despise each other. On The Ex Talk, two exes will deliver relationship advice live, on air. When the struggling station needs a new concept, Shay proposes a show that her boss green-lights with excitement. But lately it's been a constant clash between her and her newest colleague, Dominic Yun, who's fresh off a journalism master's program and convinced he knows everything about public radio. Shay Goldstein has been a producer at her Seattle public radio station for nearly a decade, and she can't imagine working anywhere else. I had to share the cool postcards I got when the publisher sent me this ARC, so those are the perfect images you see that I interspersed within the synopsis above.Public radio co-hosts navigate mixed signals in Rachel Lynn Solomon's sparkling romantic comedy debut. It also reminded me of what a neat city Seattle is, and would definitely be a fun place to go back again and enjoy the things I didn’t get to do last time. Overall it was such a fun story, a lot of realistic things in the way they acted or things they did.
But I won’t mention it, because I don’t want to ruin anything for you before you read it. There was one twist that I kind of called early on. And while I kind of wish we’d gotten both sides, not knowing exactly what he was doing or why he was doing certain things really added to the drama and suspense of the story.
The whole story is really from Rowan’s point of view, even though we do get one or two extra things, lists, notes, etc., from Neil’s point of view. All of those things are true for not only me, but for any romance lover honestly. Of course it was impossible for me not to adore her with her love of romance, and writing a romance novel, and even the way those around her acted about the romance genre. It’s one of those that even though I knew one of the let-downs from reading the synopsis, the fact that she isn’t going to win valedictorian, I still got tears in my eyes and totally felt the sadness right along with Rowan.
