Didn’t strain my brain, but didn’t light my fire,
I was looking for a light read when I picked this book up, and as such, it was not terrible. It was not very excellent, either.
The Ex-Files centers on Faye Parker, a model about to be married to her too-excellent-to-be-right chef fiance. As their wedding approaches, much disorder is caused by ex-lovers and family and hi-jinx ensue.
The writing is passable — amusing, but never laugh-out-loud — and the characters are never really developed. But my largest problem with this book is that the NONE of the additional characters truly like Faye and several are tiresome to stop the wedding!
Faye is described as hard, selfish, demanding and a wicked witch…by her own friends and family…but we never really see examples of this. We’re just supposed to take this author’s word for it.
I would still lend this book to a friend looking for an simple beach read, but rather than asking that it be returned to me, I’d happily tell her to keep it.

|Nix the “Ex-Files”,
This book was truly terrible. I am generally honestly lenient with chick-lit books; if the characters and plot are endearing, lousy writing can be overlooked. But, there was nothing to like about this book. First of all, there was absolutely no reason to like or even sympathize with the main character, Faye. The author apparently thought that because Faye is a pretty model, readers will reflect she is fantastic. Instead, she is selfish, bitchy and off-putting. The additional characters are so clichéd (like Faye’s token gay friend Adam) or poorly drawn (just about every character) that you end up not caring about any of them. The plot is lame, too: Faye and her fiancé Mark encourage a bunch of their exes to their wedding and then we have to suffer through the anticlimatic “drama” that ensues. Then there’s the matter of the writing, which is so affected and pretentious that it’s hard to get through lacking laughing sardonically. The dialogue is especially ridiculous, as every line seems to be tiresome desperately to be hilarious and clever, but fails miserably every time. I didn’t laugh once, except at how stupid it all was.

|Not value the buy price.,
My primary complaint with this book was its predictability. Less than halfway through, I knew exactly what was going to happen, and I wasn’t ill-treat. So it was just a matter of slogging through the rest to get to the end.
I also wasn’t overly amused by most of the so-called witticisms and amusing one-liners of several characters. It wasn’t endearing, only annoying.
All in all, pretty disappointing.
