Fay decides to have one last fling, one brief encounter, before she ties the knot for better for worse the following weekend. And the wedding itself will be just as unorthodox, for, in a bid to be modern and grown up, the bride and groom invite a potentially explosive mix of ex-boyfriends and girlfriends, as well as several irritating in-laws. Fay is determined to have a good time, but there's one person present who has other ideas . . . Jane Moore's antennae are perfectly tuned to what men and women really thought of each other in the noughties. THE EX-FILES is a bracing, witty look at contemporary relationships that will make you laugh and, possibly, make you think as well. No library descriptions found. |

I enjoyed the snarkiness of The Ex Files, since I don't like the sweet type of chick lit with the oh-so-adorable heroine. None of the characters here is entirely sympathetic. They all act rotten at some point or another. I did get a bit irritated at the flashbacks which showcase Mark and his best friend Brian's adolescent sexual exploits, which can't be interesting to anyone but a teenage boy. Still, this was an entertaining book. I hadn't read anything by Jane Moore before, but I noticed the thrift shop where I found The Ex Files also had Fourplay, her first novel, so I may pick that up too if they still have it. ( )
