# The Ex Next Door by Jo Platt (Ebook)

Thank you, n(ex)t.

After burst pipes destroy **Esme's** city-centre flat, she temporarily relocates to a delightful and small cottage in a village on the edge of town. The change is a big one, but Esme soon settles in and, as the art gallery she co-owns with her business partner, **David**, continues to thrive, life is sweet.

Until **Elliot** - an ex whom she hasn't seen or spoken to for years - moves in next door, along with his perfect new girlfriend, **Morgan**. Suddenly, Esme's past is right on her doorstep, or at least just over the fence.

When Elliot and Esme decide to keep their former relationship a secret from those around them, their subterfuge sets off a chain of events which not only forces Esme to re-evaluate her past relationship with Elliot, but also puts her friendship with David under the microscope and under pressure.

**A laugh-out-loud romance of second chances and near misses, perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Jenny Colgan.**
