The Ex Vows – 5/5 ✩
I truly haven’t been moved by a book like this one in years. I loved every moment of Georgia and Eli’s story. These two characters felt so realistic – I could feel the love they share, the yearning between them, the hurt that’s festered but the pull that remains between them. Their need for stability for stability felt like my own, their struggles with their jobs was a feeling that sizzled deep in my bones, their need to be needed but inability to ask for it like a buzz under my skin, and their growth by the end of the novel a feeling embedded deep in my heart.
The Ex Vows is about Georgia and Eli, two former best friends turned lovers who are forced to come back together to help save their mutual best friend’s wedding. While Georgia is against their reunion, it seems like Eli is ready and willing to have a talk years in the making. As much as she tries to push him away, ultimately, Georgia can’t fight the spark between them, but getting back together isn’t as easy as just having a conversation, their history runs too deep for that.
I thought the chemistry and tension between these two was refreshingly realistic and it felt like a privilege to see how much they grow from the first page to the very end. It’s been a long time since a book made me cry like this one did, but there’s no denying how much I could feel these characters’ emotions and how proud I felt by the end. I loved every second of it.
