Review
'Andrea Semple's book about an agony aunt's agony will make you laugh, cry and make you want to call up your friends and tell them how much you love them. Refreshingly original - it's like an advice column but much, much better.' Faith Bleasdale 'A bright and sunny read, whatever the weather' Matt Whyman 'Very witty - it made me laugh out loud several times' Deborah Wright

After reading Andrea Semple's more recent chick-lit offering, The Make-Up Girl, I simply had to read this one. After all, Semple's wit and giggle-out-loud humour always provide a brilliant read. The Ex-Factor (a novel about sex, relationships and other natural disasters) is definitely pleasing.
Heroine Martha Seymore is an agony aunt for a high-profile women's magazine. Actually, no - she's a relationship consultant. Her job being the advice-giver to many a hopeful reader with noone else to turn to, it is quite ironic when Martha has to deal with a big relationship problem of her own - an unfaithful boyfriend.
Reluctantly stepping into the shoes of her readers for once, Martha has to deal with her problems maturely. Though cheating Luke soon becomes just one of her life worries. With her relationship constantly on her mind, and the emerging ex-boyfriends who she still feels a little attached to, there is also her bitchy schoolmate Desdemona, overly-organised best friend Fiona, and flamboyant new flatmate Jaqui. On top of all this, there is also Martha's job which may be lost if she's not careful!
I must admit that I enjoyed The Make-Up Girl a little bit more, though The Ex-Factor is definitely a brilliant read. An amusing love story teamed with the harsh reality of infidelity, along with a hint of bitchiness. I would recommend this to any avid chick-lit fan.

I really enjoyed this book, it took me a few chapters to really get into but by the time I was half-way through I could hardly put it down, quite funny in places and emotional in others.
I liked the ending too, it wasn't one of those feminist-type endings and yet it still leaves you waiting for more...
This is the first book I've read by Andrea Semple and I'm now looking to purchase her second offering.

I read this book after spotting a review about it elsewhere in the amazon pages describing it as "knickerwettingly funny" personally i wouldnt go that far but it is funny. The story as explains is based around exes of Martha and what happens to her with all of them in her life. I think this book is excellent chick lit only, there is no way id catch my hubby reading this one! Very good read if a little predictable but definately worth the read
