The Ex Talk – Rachel Lynn Solomon

Shay Goldstein has been a producer at her Seattle public radio station for nearly a decade, but her passion for the job is tested by Dominic Yun — a fresh-out-of-grad-school reporter who thinks he knows everything. When the station needs a fresh concept to save its plummeting ratings, Shay proposes a show called The Ex Talk, where two exes deliver relationship advice on air.

The station loves the idea — with one major catch: they want Shay and Dominic to host it together and pretend to be exes. Forced into a high-profile lie, the two co-hosts clash on air, but their fake history soon sparks real, electric chemistry. As the show becomes a massive hit, Shay and Dominic must decide whether taking a chance on love is worth risking their careers.

Loved for its unique public radio backdrop, sharp bantering dialogue, and well-executed enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Popular across #RomanceTok for its fake dating, workplace rivals, and relatable millennial life themes.

Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren's The Unhoneymooners, Ali Hazelwood's The Love Hypothesis, Sally Thorne's The Hating Game, or Emily Henry's Beach Read.
