The Ex-Files, a novel by Jane Moore

After five years spent maneuvering for Mr. Right, beautiful, feisty Faye Parker has finally snared a sensitive cutie named Mark. So when he pops the question, Faye is fully prepared to step out of the dating rat-race, call the caterer, and don the veil. Just as soon as she has one last teensy-weensy little fling.

Then comes the dicey issue of the guest list. First there’s Nat, Faye’s ex—a narcissistic fashion model hell-bent on flaunting his substantial charms in Faye’s face, his latest Playboy bunny in tow. Next there’s Kate, Mark’s ex—a woman so indignant she’s not the bride that she’s liable to slit Faye’s zipper. And, of course, there’s Adam, Faye’s flamboyant sidekick, milking the chaos for all it’s worth while shamelessly ogling Nat’s abs. As the rehearsal dinner lurches toward the brink of a spin-the-bottle-fueled imbroglio, Faye must face the fact that marriage means more than a flawlessly executed reception. She’s got a serious decision to make—about Mark, about love, and about her own deepest desires.

This is story about ex-girl/boyfriend with details how they met with Faye/Mark and how they broke up. Little confusing at the beginning because there are no signs which was the present time, which was the flashback. But enjoy this, we can get it.

Their characteristics is commonly see in real world.

Faye: has no father, she has to be tough so she tends to “hold the ball” in every relationship.
Mark: feeling intimidated by his older brother, Tony, he tends to feel comfortable having relation with tough woman.
It’s common story with guessable ending, but it’s wrapped in the one and only packaging: back and fro plots.

I like Tony. He has all good personalities in him. But I’m not satisfied with his minimum appearance. I can’t feel the real him. He looked like a bad guy. He seduced Fay at the bar, forced her to cancel her marriage, chased her to be her girlfriend. His fight getting Fay is too easy. Seems like opportunist though he’s a cute guy. Annoying, aren’t he?
I wish his role is bigger than this *sigh* And see him a little bit more *sigh again*
