The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon
5.0

Once again, the melancholy rom com returns. Shay’s life revolves around public radio, a love that she and her father cultivated all through her childhood. However, Shay's father passed away pre-storyline and and now her mom is ready to move on. On top of that, her best friend has a new opportunity that could move her away and her work nemesis, Dominic Yun, seems to be having all the success she wants at work. When the life of the public radio station is threatened, Shay comes up with the idea for The Ex Talk, a talk show about relationships hosted by two exes. But the exes aren't really exes - and Shay isn't sure how she feels about lying to her audience and to her family, especially since she knows her father wouldn't agree with it. As Shay and Dominic get to know each other, romance blossoms, and it is adorable.

This book is rich with public radio references, the characters are diverse, and the romance is spot-on. This was a one-day read for me because I just couldn't put it down.
