Emmy Hart AKA Suzanne Ewart in Conversation with Carolyn O'Brien

Hear Emmy Hart, aka Suzanne Ewart, chat about her new book from Harper North, The Best Ex of My Life, with Carolyn O'Brien, author of Rose and Renzo, and The Song of Peterloo.

Two best friends. One messy love story. After another horrendous first date, Lizzie is done with the apps.

No more swiping. No more small talk. Instead, she’s hatching a plan so brilliantly chaotic that her two best gal pals can’t say no: the ex-swap.

It’s genius, each woman nominates her finest ex – even if Lizzie’s just so happens to be her work bestie – someone who’s perfect on paper but just not the one. Pre-vetted, best-friend approved and practically gift-wrapped. Is it a slightly unhinged plan? Of course.

But if worst comes to worst, it'll be a funny story; a no-pressure experiment in second-chance romance. What could possibly go wrong?
