I will turn 29 in three months. With (almost) everyone around me married and some stepping into motherhood, I at times ask myself if I’m doing something ‘wrong’? Am I ‘supposed’ to get married now? These questions come as a surprise to me because I’m content and happy as I am, where I am. I do not feel the need to have someone by my side I’m at this moment. But I guess when everyone around you is doing the same thing, you do pause and question yourself, don’t you?

But unlike me, Esther is desperate to find a partner. She is turning thirty and every time she sees babies, her 'ovaries explode'.
At a night out with her girl friends at the nearby pub, she comes across an old magazine where she reads an article about how everyone has had seven kinds of exes and one of them is probably 'The One'. Esther freaks out, realising she may have already dumped the love of her life! In order to find The One, she decides to reconnect with her seven exes one by one, starting with her first love. And this is how the story comes into being.

To be frank, Esther didn't have a personality outside of how she was painfully single and desperately looking for the father of her children. In the midst of her mission, she gains old friends, comes to certain realisations, and almost jeopardises her job that she actually loves.

This book was nothing extraordinary, but I enjoyed reading it; practically finished it in 1.5 days! I reckon I was in need of a light and fun read, which this absolutely was. It also had an important (but slightly preachy) message towards the end, so it was a nice way to tie it all together!
It points out a single woman’s—of ‘marriageable age’—doubts, thoughts, and questions…making it meaningful.
Thank you to @harperperennial for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
PS I totally called the end!
