After being rather embarrassingly dumped during a live TV show, Rosie finds a bunch of flowers on her doorstep. The note on it says: 'I love you. I never should have let you go. I want you back.' Rosie assumes the flowers are from Dave, the latest guy to dump her, but they are not. Then perhaps one of her other ex-boyfriends? Rosie sets out on a quest to visit all her exes.

The plot reminded me some what of 20 Times a Lady by Karyn Bosnak. Though her character Delilah has to go and visit 20 exes. Rosie only accumulated five. (And in both cases one of them is gay.)

The first three exes are quickly discounted, and the bulk of the story focusses on Rosie on board a cruiseship - where one ex works as a singer - on her way to New York - where another ex works as a photographer. I think I would have liked it better if Rosie had a few more exes to meet up with, rather than her hanging out with her parents and new best friend. (But have five exes all work on the same ship, that would be highly unlikely.)

Nice enough story, but for someone that has got the Rosie Outlook named after her because she's always such an optimistic thinker, she's doing an awful lot of negative thinking in this story.

I read an ARC through Netgalley.
