Publisher's summary

The love of your life...or a deadly mistake?

It’s hard meeting your ex after so much time apart. You remember the tears and accusations, the desperate look on his face as he punched the wall, but you try not to show it. You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster.

You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world.

You see his face change. You know what he’s thinking.

The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child?

You hesitate, your throat dry, good and bad memories swirling in your mind. You’ve missed him so much...but can you ever trust him again?

You decide that the most important thing is doing what’s right for baby Tom. But months later, when the sirens wail in the night, you have to admit: You never thought either of you would go this far....

A brilliantly twisty psychological thriller from number one best-selling author S.E. Lynes about a relationship full of secrets and lies. Fans of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Gillian Flynn will be gripped by The Ex.

Loved it!

I love S.E. Lynes books and this was a good one. Only complaint is the lead character driving me nuts being too blind and meek, but that is part of the story and the story held my interest totally.

enjoyed this book

The book was well written with an unexpected plot twist that is heartbreaking. I wanted to shake Sam a few times. The isolation of covid distancing added a realistic background. I did shed a few tears.

4.5 stars

Hard to put down in the end!
The perspective changes from 4 main characters which can at times be confusing with just one narrator.

The title details DO NOT adequately describe the book

The title details, I truly not accurate I kept listening to see if the story would eventually reflect the details. It didn’t. The book was OK. I will say that the reveal took entirely too long and by the time he did get there, I just wanted to hurry up and finish the book. Overall, the book was OK I will say it was saved by the performance of the narrator. The story itself was just OK. I will listen to this author again however, I am hoping the next book will be a little bit better.
