Publisher's summary
Girl meets boy. They fall in love. There's just one problem...
Georgia and Luke are in love. They've only been dating for a few months, but Georgia is pretty sure he's the one. They get along so well; he's romantic and kind and funny. There's just one problem: Luke's ex-girlfriend, Cadence, is having trouble moving on. She texts him all the time, won't give Luke back some of his things, and Georgia is convinced Cadence has followed them on more than one occasion. It's starting to get creepy.
Georgia and Luke soon move in together, but the shadow of Cadence looms large. Georgia is conflicted—on the one hand, she is the happiest she has been in a very long time, but this stalker-ex thing is getting old real quick. She needs Cadence to calm down and stop interfering with their lives. Georgia decides to go to Cadence's apartment and confront her, woman to woman ... that's when things get interesting.
From the bestselling author of The Fifth Letter comes a twisty, pacy, gripping new novel that explores the baggage we carry from our past relationships and asks how well can you ever really know someone.

Good but Predictable
The first 2 parts of this book dragged on, which would have been fine if the storyline hadn’t been so predictable. The last part of the book was faster paced, less predictable and much more enjoyable. It is worth a read.

A great read!
I really enjoyed this - it was recommended by a family member, and I didn't know what to expect, but I found it really exciting from start to finish - highly recommend! Well written and well read.

The Ex
I thought this was a dreadful book. The story was such light weight trash and the narrator’s voice ( sorry - I don’t mean to be rude) was contrived and archly coy and totally irritating

Disappointed
The story was ok, predictable by the review comments. Although it would be good to have a positive vibe on relationships.
I found the narrator’s voice for the 2 female characters annoyingly childlike and pathetic.

The whole book was just irritating
I almost didn’t finish this because I found the two main characters to be so spineless and irritating. The twists was super predictable and I felt like the motivation behind the villains actions was really far fetched.
If any of the characters just responded the way a normal human being would the whole situation would’ve been sorted in an instant.
Cadences voice is also so irritating and grating, her parts were torture.

The Ex is great and very entertaining
A good story overall all, albeit a little predictive. The narration was great and easy to listen to.

Good fluff to lean into between heavy reading
This was a great story when you need a easy read.
The story was predictable and doesn’t extend your vocabulary… but when you need some fluff that doesn’t make you think then this is the book you need. Great performance by Simone Gescheit.

Not for me
Took a chance hoping storytelling ran in the Moriarty family. It doesn’t. A predictable fluffy plot. The narrator’s portrayal of Cadence (a 38 y/o woman) sounded like a 7 y/o - verrrry irritating and difficult to take seriously. It’s a hard no from me.

For Dee Kwan, every day is the perfect day. No, really. She has a house she loves, a job she adores, and a ridiculously attractive “nemesis” who never seems to mind when she wins their favorite online game. How can life possibly get better? (It can’t, obviously. It can only get much, much worse.) Soon Dee is forced to share her adorably cozy home with her parents and estranged grandmother. Then she’s tossed into the deep end at work, tasked with cleaning up a scandal for the intimidatingly chic luxury fashion firm Celeste. If that weren’t enough, she discovers her hot nemesis works there, too.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 393
It's nearly Christmas, Julia Devine's favourite time of the year. She's just programmed a wonderful lead into the holidays at Sunny Street Cinema, which leaves her plenty of time to worry about going home to Cumbria for Christmas. Her mum and stepdad are fine, but the thought of spending another holiday with her awful stepsister Becca is enough to make a Scrooge out of anyone. When Becca calls to let her know about the dreamy pilot she's bringing to Christmas lunch, Julia finally snaps and does something very silly.
