Welcome Back, Booklovers! I'm a girl who loves audiobooks. Sometimes I just need to be read to especially when in in the kitchen cooking. In my search for something light and because I was doing an Audible free trial I figured this was the perfect time to read The Starter Ex by Mia Sosa. Having read a few of her books before I was familiar with her vibe.
Vanessa Cordero used to have a business in college as what she called a Starter Ex. She would get paid by girls to date guys they were interested in and then be the worst girlfriend ever so her clients could swoop in and pick up the pieces of his broken heart. She's since long given that life up however when she's recently back in New York after relocating her job, she runs into one of her old clients. Then her sister Lisa decides to have Vanessa help land her best friend's brother Jason by dating him.
Jason is allergic to commitment after a relationship went sour. He wants to entertain Vanessa to get his mother off his back and has no interest in her sister Lisa, despite Lisa's hints over the years. Jason's sister is getting married and he's doing his best to help things run as smooth as possible as she prepares to teach abroad.
Previously I read a fake dating romance by Mia Sosa that felt forced particularly with the main characters pointing out it made no sense. While the characters point out how this scheme has potential to backfire and it's also not that believable it worked because Jason flips the script on Vanessa early on. The narration here is great especially with the male narrator Noah B. Perez. If someone is looking for a quick palette cleanser this is a nice option.
