Girl meets boy. They fall in love. There's just one problem...



She wants him back. She wants you gone.

Luke is The One. After everything she's been through, Georgia knows she deserves someone like him, to make her feel loved. Safe.

The only problem is his ex-girlfriend. Luke says Cadence is having trouble moving on. She texts Luke all the time and leaves aggressive notes on Georgia's car.

Georgia starts to feel afraid. But she decides to confront Cadence ... and that's when things get interesting.

From the bestselling author of The Fifth Letter comes a twisty, pacy, gripping new novel that explores the baggage we carry from our past relationships and asks how well can you ever really know someone.

'Nicola Moriarty captivates with her riveting new novel, The Ex, which examines the inescapable ties of past relationships and what happens when old wounds aren't healed. Gripping, dramatic and with twists you won't see coming, this book held me in its spell from the first page. I loved this book.' Sally Hepworth, author of The Family Next Door

'A pacy, gripping thriller, but also full of heart and plenty of laughs for comic relief ... An absorbing, terrifying tale that perfectly captures the zeitgeist.' Sunday Telegraph

'A compelling story of love, betrayal, and revenge, The Ex offers enthralling twists and turns' Book'd Out

'Will have you turning pages in a blur to find out what happens ... [has] Netflix written all over it.' The Age

The Ex is the fifth novel by Australian author, Nicola Moriarty. Georgia Fitzpatrick can't believe her luck when being stood up by her Tinder date lands her in the company of the delectable Luke Kauffman. He seems like the perfect guy: a real gentleman and so sweet. Hot too!

But there's a catch: his ex, who still shares his flat, and can't seem to accept that it's over. A dilemma that might have given others pause (to run a mile from this too complicated situation, or to take a chance that this guy is worth the hassle?) gets Georgia’s consideration for mere moments.

Less than two months later, he’s moving in with her on the premise that this should alleviate the situation with Cadence, the ex (the repeated texts and nasty notes are definitely heading into stalking territory). Except it doesn’t. Things just seem to be getting worse. And then other things start to go amiss in Georgia’s life.

It is soon apparent that not all characters cannot be taken at face value: some have a history that leads to poor life choices. Moriarty deftly demonstrates how easy it is to be deceived, especially where wishful thinking and unquestioning, perhaps misguided, trust are involved. It is good to see the female characters showing their strong spines when it most matters.

Moriarty manages to insert a few red herrings that will keep the reader guessing and, while the who becomes obvious quite quickly, the whatever next and the why are what makes this a gripping page-turner right up to the nail-biting climax. A riveting read.
