An Instant Indie Bestseller
Public radio co-hosts navigate mixed signals in Rachel Lynn Solomon's
sparkling romantic comedy debut.
Shay Goldstein has been a producer at her Seattle public radio station
for nearly a decade, and she can't imagine working anywhere else. But
lately it's been a constant clash between her and her newest colleague,
Dominic Yun, who's fresh off a journalism master's program and convinced
he knows everything about public radio.
When the struggling station needs a new concept, Shay proposes a show
that her boss green-lights with excitement. On The Ex Talk, two exes
will deliver relationship advice live, on air. Their boss decides Shay
and Dominic are the perfect co-hosts, given how much they already
despise each other. Neither loves the idea of lying to listeners, but
it's this or unemployment. Their audience gets invested fast, and it's
not long before The Ex Talk becomes a must-listen in Seattle and climbs
podcast charts.
As the show gets bigger, so does their deception, especially when Shay
and Dominic start to fall for each other. In an industry that values
truth, getting caught could mean the end of more than just their
careers.
