Cute and Fun
This is a light-hearted romantic comedy which was fun to read.It starts with Shay working as a producer for a public radio station but dreams of being a host and there is a young colleague who gets privileges for which she had to work hard for years and this naturally irks Shay. So they are Tom and Jerry of the office and this chemistry was what was needed for a show where they pose as ex-es who are now working together as cohosts on a show to talk about relationship issues. This Ex Talk becomes an instant hit and what happens to Shay and Dominic is the rest of the story.Some scenes felt contrived. So overall, if you can adjust your lens, this is still a good, light-hearted read.

So much tropetastic goodness!
Loved it! This workplace romance delivered so much tropey catnip. There’s• Workplace romance at a public radio station. In fact, it’s KNKX, my local station! Turns out the author worked there. The author’s knowledge of the radio & podcast world came though without excessive detail to bore the reader.• Pacific Northwest setting• Enemies to lovers. Shay’s a hard-working producer who’s given up on getting her turn at the mic. Dominic’s a freshly baked graduate—M.A. from Northwestern, which he mentions at the drop of a hat—and the sexist station boss hands him the position Shay deserves.• Fake dating, except the hero & heroine must convince their radio and podcast listeners that they used to date and have since broken up, so they must quickly invent a history. Doing so gets the romance ball rolling.• Psychotic dog• Steamy slow burn with some delicious payoff• Older woman, younger man—though with her at 29 and him at 24, it’s not a huge age gap. Shay worries that someone as young and gorgeous as Dominic couldn’t possibly be seriously interest in her, which leads to the• “Just casual” conceit. We know that’s not what either wants, of course.• A lovely side plot about finding new love after grief. Shay’s father died in her senior year of high school, and their love of radio motivates her to this day. Mom has since fallen in love with a wonderful man, but Shay’s grief continues to shackle her. I particularly loved the podcast episode where Shay’s mom & her fiancé, also a widower, discuss finding love after loss.Some reviewers bemoan the characters’ use of memes and pop cultural references. It didn’t strike me as excessive, and it reflects what I see among friends and family in that age range. I found it cute and realistic.All in all, a touching, funny, sexy, entertaining read. Highly recommend.

Really Enjoyed It
This was a really cute book. Shay and Dominic had great chemistry and some fun banter. It touched on grief, loneliness and self doubt bur still managed to remain sweet and light hearted at other times. Quite predictedable but still enjoyable.

so enjoyable, unique concept!
I didnt really mean to read this tonight and shirk everything else I was planning to do but *britney spears voice* OOPS I DID IT AGAIN.I haven't read any of Solomon's books before, but I was really interested in this one's premise, especially as someone with a background in radio myself (both on the production and hosting sides! Just like Shay. Although, I certainly didn't have a Dominic Yun. Tragic.).Speaking of Dominic Yum-- I mean, Yun-- the sexual tension between them was insane especially in the first part of this book. I was truly dead. And their banter was amazing--some of the stuff they said on their show made me Chuckle.All in all, I loved this one. So enjoyable, so unique, and such a page turner.

Great
I love Dominic and I love Shay and I wars incredibly excited about this book, which sometimes is a problem, because the book itself can be underwhelming. While that wasn’t the case there’s some aspects of this I didn’t love completely, but Rachel’s voice is incredible and she’s an auto buy author for me!
