LOVE, EXES, AND OHS
He may very well be the perfect
ex...
Isaac McKnight has had enough loss
in his life to know never to take anything for granted. So when the
perfectly-imperfect-woman-for-him puts an end to their relationship out of the
blue, it's Isaac that makes sure they remain friends. Now a year later, whether
it's at his gym or her brewpub, or the dog park they visit every
weekend--though neither of them own a dog--he and Xoey are steadily getting
sucked deeper into buddy-zone galaxy, with its dangerous proximity to
watch-me-settle-down-with-someone-else abyss. It's a reality he's resigned
himself to. That is...until one drunken confession changes everything.
But she's looking for the perfect
oh...
For Xoey Montenegro, history has
taught her that sometimes, it's Prince Charming who vanishes without a trace.
And fairytale love? Highly overrated. Heck, give her a real and perfect 'oh'
over that fantasy any day. So as far as rock-solid tequila-fueled plans for her
love life go, coming up with a match-finding formula based on the qualities of
the men responsible for her three most epic ohs seems brilliant. Except for the
fact that one-third of her genius little man-quation is all about her friend
Isaac. Actually, more than a third if Xoey were being honest with
herself--which she's not. Because full honesty would require thinking not just
about how perfect Isaac really is, but also about how perfect the fourth epic
oh she's kept buried deep in her past once was.
An easy enough thing to keep
ignoring...until her past isn't past tense anymore.
REVIEW- 4 STARS
Four stars for ex's and ohs
Have you ever started a book knowing its not your style but you get sucked in anyways and it turns out to be one amazing story? Well thats what exes and ohs was for me. I have a hard time connecting with third person narrative sometimes and there have only been a few books that I've been able to really get into, and this is one of them.
The witty banter, the way she was able to write with such emotion yet have humor is kind of a major skill. I was drawn in with the relatable characters and consumed by the emotions hidden deep within the story line.
Xoey and Issac were definitely one of my top book couples. They kind of reminded me of someone I know and adore so it made reading this story that much more entertaining. If you're hovering over that one click button wondering if you should take the chance on this book, do it. It'll be worth your while because it definitely let me get away from reality for just a minute and I loved it.
