In the silence that follows, surrounded by the noise of London, I feel shame rain down on my head. Because he’s right – I did end it like that. I acted like he wouldn’t care because I really thought he wouldn’t. I had brainwashed myself into thinking it was a silly little teen romance that he didn’t really care that much about. And I cut him off so cruelly. I did it over the phone one night, in a two-minute call, goaded on by that mean girl I shared a room with, whose name I never knew. And then I got dressed up and went to a student night in a local bar where I flirted with a bunch of boys and pretended I was fine.

Lucy Vine writes with such compelling honesty, Seven Exes made me laugh, made me cry and made me want to call all my friends to tell them I loved them then call my exes to apologize/punch them in the nuts. Equal parts romcom and life lesson, it's a must-read.' Lindsey Kelk ' Riotously funny, charming, and nostalgic, Seven Exes is a truly optimistic look at turning 30 and all the mess that can come with. Superb!' Laura Jane Will...
