Public radio co-hosts navigate mixed signals in Rachel Lynn Solomon's sparkling romantic comedy debut.

 
Shay Goldstein has been a producer at her Seattle public radio station for nearly a decade, and she can't imagine working anywhere else. 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. 
 
When the struggling station needs a new concept, Shay proposes a show that her boss green-lights with excitement. On The Ex Talk, two exes will deliver relationship advice live, on air. Their boss decides Shay and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts, given how much they already despise each other. Neither loves the idea of lying to listeners, but it's this or unemployment. Their audience gets invested fast, and it's not long before The Ex Talk becomes a must-listen in Seattle and climbs podcast charts.  
 
As the show gets bigger, so does their deception, especially when Shay and Dominic start to fall for each other. In an industry that values truth, getting caught could mean the end of more than just their careers.

What didn't work for me was the whole pretend-ex's. It was difficult for me to believe that Dominic would forgo his journalistic standards (that he formed whilst in grad school lol) for a relationship podcast. Also, I question how Shay could have been so game for lying to her listeners almost immediately upon being offered the chance to host her own show. Or maybe Shay is such a veteran at public radio this kind of lie is common? The lie just felt so icky and cringey it was hard for me to trust the main characters. I would rather have had none of the faux-ex storyline and just have them host a show about relationships and then they organically fall for each other. ( )

Cute romance about podcasts/public radio.

It's filled with tropes: enemies to lovers / fake romance but those are two of my favorites and I listen to podcasts constantly so this was like 100% written for me. LOL

There's nothing too deep here but that's OK.

Edited to add: I see on Goodreads that I read the author's YA romance not too long ago and totally loved it so I guess this means I fully endorse her stuff! ( )

After a decade working behind the scenes for a public radio station, Shay is finally given a chance of hosting her own show -- on the condition that she and her and her co-host, Dominic, pretend to be exes.

I had read the blurb for this before I’d read Weather Girl and Business or Pleasure, and I’d decided it wasn’t what I wanted to read.
But it turns out to be very different story from the one I had initially imagined! (I’m not sure how to put what I’d rather vaguely imagined into words -- something more default-American-y? A love interest who’s white and a jock and older, not a 24 year old Korean-American overly prone to bringing up his journalism master’s degree in conversation?)

In themes and values and setting (Seattle), The Ex Talk has a lot in common with Solomon’s other novels. I like the strong sense of place and community her stories have. I also enjoyed the banter between Shay and Dominic, and Shay’s passion for telling stories. I found the deception more stressful than the usual sort of fake-dating set-up.

I’m glad I gave this a go. Also, it's single POV.
Dominic Yun: On this first episode, we’re talking about why we broke up. We'll take some calls a little later but we wanted to start with our story, because clearly it’s something even Shay and I can’t agree on. Here are some other reasons couples break up these days: jealousy, broken promises, insecurity, infidelity --
Shay Goldstein: Working too closely with your partner.
Dominic Yun: Or maybe interrupting them constantly.
Shay Goldstein: I thought this was friendly banter?
Dominic Yun: I feel like that would require you being friendly.
Shay Goldstein: I’m friendly! To my friends!

A little repetitious for my tastes.

It took me some time to get into the story, but ultimately it was an agreeable romcom. ( )

I don’t go looking for stories with the idea of wrongness in my head, no. But the fact is, a lot of great stories hinge on people being wrong.
