Some people scrapbook.

I screenshot my exesโ€™ texts.

What started as me venting my dating disasters online (creative outlet, donโ€™t judge) has turned into a blog with actual followersโ€”and the only thing keeping me in my dirt-cheap apartment. My grandmother-slash-landlord insists I โ€œprove my creativityโ€ to stay, so the blog lives on.

Except now my readers want a happy ending. With an ex.

Problem? None of my exes qualify.

Soโ€ฆI invent one. The perfect guy. The one that got away.

Rule #1: Never roast your exes online if they know how to read.

Rule #2: Definitely donโ€™t make up a fake ex-boyfriend just to keep your rent low.

Rule #3: do notโ€”under any circumstancesโ€”let your best friend discover the lie.

Because now heโ€™s volunteered to become my fake perfect ex. And the more we fake it, the more I canโ€™t tell if my readers are the only ones falling for the story.

Turns out, the biggest plot twist of all?

I might have been in love with him the whole time.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Texts From My Exes is a cute best friends, fake relationship romance dropped into the middle of a social media circus.

Schoolteacher Harper blogs a bit about her dating misadventures on the side, and is hoping to go viral as a content creator. Her grandmother/landlord challenges her to go have a post go viral or lose her apartment. So Harper decides to share texts from her exes, and have her followers decide which guy she should rekindle things with โ€” but makes up one ex-boyfriend. When she has to actually go on a date with said fake ex and document it all for social media, Harper’s nerdy best friend, Ezra, steps in as the faux beau.

Will fake dating ruin their friendship, or will it make Harper finally realize that the right guy has been in front of her all along? And when Ezra’s secret past comes to light (because nothing is buried in the digital age), will everything come crashing to a halt?

Harper is a bit of a quirky heroine, but stable Ezra balanced her out nicely. Texts From My Exes is funny and sweet, with funny banter between the two main characters, and memorable secondary characters (like Grandma Blue and Ezra’s dad).

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
