How to Get Over Your Ex

Romance

Georgia makes the mistake of her life by proposing to her boyfriend live on a St. Valentine's Day radio show in London. If he accepts the wedding will be financed by the show - and she never expects that he'll decline. Sadder and wiser, she flees the scene and tries to get on with her life. But she's still under contract to the show - and its attractive manager.

Zander, the radio station manager, runs marathons for a sense of challenge in his quiet life. He comes up with a way for the show to get value and Georgia to save face. For the next year, the practical plant expert at Kew Gardens will be financed and interviewed as she takes courses and tries adventures and learns to rebuild her life without her boyfriend. Zander has luxury cars and a large home in Hampstead Heath, but agrees to accompany Georgia on her evening courses after their work.

The cookery course is pretentious and fawning, so when Georgia leaves early Zander takes her to help in a busy restaurant kitchen instead, and a sense of trust begins to build between them. The contrast between Georgia's fern- filled apartment and Zander's unlived-in house and garden is what makes the executive really think differently about the girl, and when she swaps a break in Ibiza for a balloon flight in Cappadocia, Turkey, over an ancient civilisation's city, Zander finds himself falling for her. But Georgia has no intention of gaining another boyfriend. She's made that mistake already!

A fun tale, HOW TO GET OVER YOUR EX reflects on the dream sold to us that our first love must be the right one and what happens when one half of a relationship is not inclined to commit. At least Georgia found out before wasting several years waiting for a man to propose. She would not have got out and tried so many great activities if she and a dutiful boyfriend were sitting in saving up for a wedding, so the year of excitement has a serious message that we don't know what we really want until we find it.

SUMMARY

Being rejected is one thing. Being rejected live on radio takes it to a whole new level!

After her on-air proposal is turned down by her commitment-phobe boyfriend, Georgia Stone must learn to survive singledom. Unfortunately, thanks to a clause in her contract, she has to do it under the watchful gaze of brooding radio producer Zander Rush.

And so begins the Year of Georgia! Lurching from salsa classes to spy school, Georgia discovers a taste for adventure. Her biggest thrill so far? Flirting with danger—aka the enigmatic Zander. But admitting she's ready for more than just a fling…? Definitely Georgia's scariest challenge yet!
