Seven Exes

Product Information

Viajar pelas memórias da Esther e conhecer os seus 7 amores é muito divertido e ao mesmo tempo triste - algumas coisas é bom reviver e pôr em perspectiva, outras...nem tanto. Riotously funny, charming, and nostalgic, Seven Exes is a truly optimistic look at turning 30 and all the mess that can come with. Superb!' Laura Jane Williams The First Love, The Work Mistake, The Friend with Benefits, The Overlap, The Missed Chance, The Bastard and The Serious One.

I absolutely loved every second of this and—given the lighthearted tone of the premise (which sounded fabulously Rom-com-y and reminded me of the movie What’s Your Number), I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of emotion and social commentary that we get to explore.

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

There were a lot of pop culture things thrown in that I could have done without — Greta Thunberg and Beyonce in the same sentence about veganism and carbon footprints, Kanye West/Ye, quoting “stop trying to make fetch happen”, using “AF” and “STFU” outside of dialogue.Esther is approaching 30 years old and is upset that she hasn't found her perfect man who will love her no matter what. She's in a bar with her two best friends and finds an old magazine article that there are seven kinds of relationships and that one of them WILL provide the perfect man. She realizes that her seven past men fit these seven categories and that one of them must have been her perfect match that she allowed to get away. So she and her two friends come up with a plan that she'll find each of the past seven men to see if one of them was really her perfect match. Finding her soulmate isn’t as simple as she hoped it would be. Her quest brings lots of laughs and lots of tears to her life as she works her way through getting to know the seven men and it even makes her face up to her mistakes in the relationships. A sweary, panic-sweaty but ultimately rather endearing take on facing your demons — and realising that women’s magazine features should rarely be believed. Definitely don’t try this at home’ The Sunday Times

Esther is 29, almost 30, with no real love life to speak of. On a drunken night at her go-to dingy pub with her two roommates, she finds an old magazine with an article titled “The Seven Relationships Every Woman Has in Her Quest To Find the One” (first love, work mistake, overlap, friend with benefits, missed chance, bastard, the serious one). 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. This should have been a women's fic instead of romance because there really wasn’t a solid active relationship until the epilogue (barely), and was mostly reflection of past dynamics. Really unfulfilling. 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 A delightful rom-com about a woman who decides to revisit each of her seven exes, convinced that one of them is “the one who got away.”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. The characters were so unlikable, and I suffered from so much second hand embarrassment and cringe dialogue.
