I feel like this would be a perfect beach read, easy to get through and follow. I enjoyed the concept, very similar to romcoms like What’s your Number. Our lead character, Esther, reads an article listing 7 types of boyfriends and then tries to meet with all of her 7 exes to see if any of them were the one. She involves her flatmates Louise and Bibi in her quest and their relationships are explored too. I liked this book, but I didn’t love it. I found Esther and some of her actions annoying, and sometimes struggled to believe that she was in her late twenties rather 20 by how she acted in some situations. And felt that she was really full of herself, which made her seem quite unlikable. I really appreciated the LGBTQ+ representations in the book.

I would’ve loved more time spent on exploring her past relationships, a couple went quite quickly – which although I guess is how we could all look at past relationships some didn’t have too much back story.

I must admit, it did take me quite a while to get into this books and I had a few false starts. I found it obvious where it was going to end up, but there was an interesting twist at the end, when she meets a woman at a bar.

Overall I think this would be great for fans of romcoms and modern romance.
