Ex on the Beach

By: Phoebe MacLeod

Narrated by: Victoria Fox

Escape to the Caribbean in the BRAND NEW feel-good romantic comedy from Phoebe MacLeod, BESTSELLING author of Love, Accidentally

Tori needs a holiday. London is cold and grey, work is manic, and after a regrettable New Year's Eve hookup with her ex, her best friends won't stop pushing her onto dating apps. So when a colleague offers Tori the last spot on a Jamaican getaway, she doesn't take much persuasion.

But paradise comes with a twist. Not only is she forced to share a room with grumpy, recently dumped Robert, but her ex has turned up too, hand-in-hand with his new girlfriend. Ten days in the sun suddenly looks like ten days of torture.

Still, Tori is determined to make the most of her situation. And who knows, with sun-kissed beaches, poolside views, and a charming hotel piano player, this trip might just turn into the escape she didn't know she needed…

Pleasant Generally

It was pretty good. A dash of unwise sex which didn't match the rest of the character's wise ameauter therapist personality, but okay. Main character should have gotten tested for std after sleeping with the cheating ex. The one complication was shoved in a bit awkwardly. Hard to believe the good people were with the awful people.

Beach Summer Vibes

☀️ I truly enjoyed how fun and flirty this book is—it has all the summer vibes we need! Victoria Fox does a wonderful job narrating making this an enjoyable listen.

☀️ Tori heads to Jamaica after a hookup with her ex, looking for relaxation, but she ends up at the same resort as her ex and his new girlfriend (who is controlling and way too peppy!). If that’s not enough, she’s stuck sharing a room with grumpy, recently dumped Robert. Her only true solace is Gabriel, the pianist she starts spending time with. I loved watching their easy, slow-burn romance unfold—it’s heartwarming and so easy to root for.

☀️ This is such a breezy, bingeable beach listen—full of chaos and charm with a sweet romance!
