I loved the NPR setting, the discussion of the erosion (but not death) of journalism. 3 1/2 stars Read moreĪbsolutely adorable. Overall, The Ex Talk is a good women's fiction book with a nice romance that adds depth and reality to the story. The romance is well done and is an important part of the story, but it isn't the most important part, leaving Dominic's character a little underdeveloped. Shay is faced with the question of whether the profession she has chosen is really what she wants to spend the rest of her life doing. The Ex Talk includes both a romance and a story about figuring out life after college. Their show is a big hit, but it brings both Shay and Dominic much more than they bargained for. Dominic is into being a journalist and doesn't like lying to the public, but agrees to be one of the hosts in order to keep his job. Newcomer Dominic Yun has been driving Shay insane, annoying her at every turn, but when the station manager tells them that they will be fired unless they host The Ex Talk show together and pretend to be exes, Shay decides this might be a good way for her to get behind the mic instead of behind the scenes. In addition the show will feature callers who will tell their stories and guests that talk about ways relationships can be saved. Shay Goldstein has worked as a producer at her local public radio station for ten years when she comes up with the idea in which ex-lovers host a show together where they talk about what went wrong in their relationship. 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. Public radio co-hosts navigate mixed signals in Rachel Lynn Solomon's sparkling romantic comedy debut.
