One of the freshest, funniest rom-coms I've ever read... with so much heart and depth. -- Daisy Buchanan

I love the title of Seven Exes, and I also like when books do exactly what they say on the tin. The reader goes in and out of the present-day narrative and the histories of her past with the seven different boyfriends. Of course, the reader makes predictions about which men from her past are going to be complete non-starters and which might be the goers, with a few twists and red herrings along the way. Even though I don’t personally relate to these seven categories of exes, I can imagine readers enjoying talking with their friends about which roles their own exes might fit into. (Perhaps some will have more than one who fits into ‘The Bastard’!) Clever, perceptive and screamingly funny... a book you'll never, ever want to break up with. ' Lauren Bravo

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 Meet Lilah Fox. She's on the hen do from hell. Then she gets a message (44 of them, actually) from her best friend with big news: she's getting married in six months.

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 I laughed, cried and (a couple of times) got irrationally angry —and in one particular scene got completely grossed out, but the bond of friendship and the unconditional support of the people you love was what really made this a standout read for me. Esther’s serious ex is called Idris. She dated him for several years, moving in with him and stealing his jumpers.

Hopeless crushes, emergency tampons, messy sex stories, work triumphs, those days where you can't stop crying in the loos, those days where you can't stop dancing on the bar. They even share the same birthday, FFS. The struggle is real, but they'll always have each other.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 apologize/punch them in the nuts. Equal parts romcom and life lesson, it's a must-read.' Lindsey Kelk Overall, a heartfelt and humourous read that’s perfect for fans of Rom-coms with Bridget-Jones level catastrophes, drunken shenanigans and endearing characters you can’t help but root for.

My one negative opinion about this book is that I thought that Esther was very immature for 30 and was too obsessed with having a perfect life with a perfect man. I am willing to say that my attitude of Esther is probably the fact that I'm well beyond 30 and don't remember how I was approaching life at that age. I did enjoy seeing her growth throughout the book and was rooting for her to find her happily ever after. I really enjoyed the importance of female friendship highlighted in this book. No matter what Esther was going through or how stupid she was acting (or how drunk she was), her two friends were always there to help her out. SEVEN EXES was such a joy to read. I adore everything Lucy writes but I think this is her best one yet.’ Holly Bourne The beauty of Lucy's writing is that you'll cry and laugh in the same chapter. With it tapping into 2023's dating culture... It feels both refreshingly modern and satisfyingly traditional in the same breath' Belfast Telegraph She decides to throw caution to the wind and jets off on a round-the-world adventure to #FindTheFun and find herself. Of course, she's no more likely to find the answer to true happiness on the beach in Thailand than she is at the electric beach in Tooting, but at least in Thailand there's paddleboard yoga.

Seven Exes is a bit of me! A shimmering rom-com with plenty of gorgeous romance and even more achingly funny comedy. I loved the nostalgia, I loved the tenderness and I absolutely adored the friendship between Esther and her best pals. This is a joyous must-read. -- Hannah Doyle, author of The A to Z of Us When an affluent university professor is found brutally murdered in his sweeping mansion, which remains half-ruined following a fire decades before, there's only one suspect; the man who has been caught on the home's CCTV system.
