Synopses & Reviews
After five years spent maneuvering for Mr. Right, beautiful, feisty Faye Parker has finally snared a sensitive cutie named Mark. So when he pops the question, Faye is fully prepared to step out of the dating rat-race, call the caterer, and don the veil.
Just as soon as she has one last teensy-weensy little fling.
Then comes the dicey issue of the guest list. First theres Nat, Fayes ex—a narcissistic fashion model hell-bent on flaunting his substantial charms in Fayes face, his latest Playboy bunny in tow. Next theres Kate, Marks ex—a woman so indignant shes not the bride that shes liable to slit Fayes zipper. And, of course, theres Adam, Fayes flamboyant sidekick, milking the chaos for all its worth while shamelessly ogling Nats abs. As the rehearsal dinner lurches toward the brink of a spin-the-bottle-fueled imbroglio, Faye must face the fact that marriage means more than a flawlessly executed reception. Shes got a serious decision to make—about Mark, about love, and about her own deepest desires.
Wickedly funny, The Ex Files is a sexy, sophisticated caper that offers a brazenly edgy take on the complexities of the modern bride.
Review
"Moore's take on relationships is contemporary and complex, and full of blistering one-liners." Glamour
Review
"[A]nother clever titular pun, but wit is scarce after the title page....Awkward writing and unsympathetic characters dampen the fun, but there's something weirdly fascinating about a soap opera this shameless." Publishers Weekly
Review
"Though the plot is fairly predictable, Moore makes a decent effort to keep the story moving by using flashbacks to highlight different points in the respective relationships. With a light tone and fresh characters, this is a fun, effortless read." Carolyn Kubisz, Booklist
Review
"[A] sophisticated, witty British offering...reminiscent of a Richard Curtis script: full of modern, urbane relationships, with frantic, fast-paced interactions....Droll humor and clever observations abound..." Library Journal
Synopsis
