On this episode of Complicated Conversations we are joined by bestselling author Lucy Vine to discuss her delightful new romcom, Seven Exes, about a woman who decides to revisit each of her seven exes, convinced that “the one who got away” is somewhere in the reject pile.
Kate chats with Lucy about the lifelong fascination that inspired this novel; her complicated but highly relatable protagonist, Esther; the way the movie Jerry Maguire sold women a total line about what we really need to be “complete”; how nostalgia can be a tricky fool; the importance of female friendship; whether there is such a thing as “the One”; and the ways Lucy’s recent marriage resembles a real life romcom.
Seven Exes is out now! Buy it, borrow it, read it, and discuss it today!
