Esther is out with her two friends, bemoaning her lack of relationship, when she finds a magazine from the noughties. Seeking comfort – and a laugh – she turns to the dating advice only to find an article that feels a little too close to home. According to the journalist, there are seven people a woman will date before finding the one:

The First Love, The Work Mistake, The Friend with Benefits, The Overlap, The Missed Chance, The Bastard and The Serious One. 

Her friends laugh but Esther realises each of her exes fits these roles perfectly. Deciding that she’s mistaken her true love in the reject pile she decides to contact each of her exes to find out which is the one that got away…

My Thoughts:

Esther wants to be in a relationship, she sees other couples being all romantic and wants that for herself. So when she sees a magazine from the noughties that she use to love, she knows she has to read the article about dating advice. What is tells her to do is there are seven people a woman will date before finding the one. Esther with the help of her friends go on a journey into the past to try and find her one true love. All very different guys and very different endings on why they split up. It was a good story to read but I didn’t find it as funny as I was thought I would. I like how Lucy writes and I found the story fresh and it had a good pace to it. I enjoyed it.
