The Ex Next Door
The Ex Next Door: An utterly charming and funny romance | Jo Platt
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Thank you, n(ex)t. After burst pipes destroy Esmes city-centre flat, she temporarily relocates to a delightful and small cottage in a village on the edge of town. The change is a big one, but Esme soon settles in and, as the art gallery she co-owns with her business partner, David, continues to thrive, life is sweet. Until Elliot - an ex whom she hasnt seen or spoken to for years - moves in next door, along with his perfect new girlfriend, Morgan. Suddenly, Esmes past is right on her doorstep, or at least just over the fence. When Elliot and Esme decide to keep their former relationship a secret from those around them, their subterfuge sets off a chain of events which not only forces Esme to re-evaluate her past relationship with Elliot, but also puts her friendship with David under the microscope and under pressure. A laugh-out-loud romance of second chances and near misses, perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Jenny Colgan.

Esme comes home from work one day to find out that her new next door neighbours are her ex and his new woman. This brings up all the memories of him literally walking out on her four years ago. What's more, it brings up all the feelings and soon Esme and Elliot are sneaking around behind his partner's back.

Quick read - short chapters, but ⬇️

julesG The MC grated on me. Knowing how she felt shortly before the break-up and befriending the ex's partner, why does she still meet him clandestinely?

Great secondary characters - perfect best friend and a neighbour who doles out advice unknowingly!!!
