Fast rising women’s fiction star Eva Woods has done it again! After her sensational debut published last year, The Thirty List, Eva is back with a sassy, hilarious and addictive novel you will not be able to resist – The Ex Factor!

The dating scene is a jungle full of liars, weirdos and oddballs who still have a penchant for superheroes and live with their mother – and nobody knows this better than Marnie, Helen, Rosa and Ani. The four friends have had their fair share of entangled attachments, romantic disappointments and devastating rejection, but they are no longer prepared to put up with that. The time has come to put an end to disastrous dates and heart-shattering break-ups as Marnie has come up with a foolproof plan that will put a stop to all of that once and for all; all the girls have to do is simply date each other’s exes. What could possibly go wrong?

Marnie’s plan is initially met with reluctance by the other three girls. Despite Marnie’s assertion that one girl’s Mr Wrong might be another’s Mr. Right, Helen, Rosa and Ani are not especially convinced, but their friend is so enthusiastic about the idea that they don’t have the heart to say no to her. After all, it’s not as if the three girls’ dating resumes are anything to write home about: Helen barely leaves her house and hasn’t had a date in ages, Rosa has just been dumped by her husband for a twenty year old intern and has to suffer the indignity of seeing them in the office every single day and Ani is a divorce lawyer who is so jaded by her job that she believes that she will never find the right guy for her.

This whole plan seems doomed to fail, but as the four girls begin dating each other’s exes, they soon realise that there are advantages to dating men who have already been screened by the people they trust most in this world – but none of them are prepared for the dangers of falling for your best friend’s ex!

Funny, light-hearted and as refreshing as a glass of champagne on a warm summer’s afternoon, The Ex Factor is a delicious and delightful zesty-paced romp that will have you laughing out loud on many an occasion. Eva Woods is a terrific writer of women’s fiction who writes with plenty of humour, sensitivity and empathy and she brings her characters to such vivid life that I am sure every woman reading this book will sympathize and relate to the many dating trials and tribulations of Marnie, Helen, Rosa and Ani.

A fantastic tale that I couldn’t put down, The Ex Factor is another stellar read from the fabulous Eva Woods!
