Cassie thinks she has met the perfect man.

Joel is sweet, handsome, romantic, and best of all, he’s crazy about Cassie. She thinks she’s found the guy she’ll spend the rest of her life with. Have children with. Grow old with.

Yes, she knows about his perfect ex-girlfriend, Francesca. The beautiful, brilliant chef, beloved by all his friends. But she thinks Francesca is out of the picture. She thinks Francesca is gone for good.

Think again, Cassie.

Cassie runs a bookstore, barely scraping by with her friend. Despite the financial struggle, she can’t let go of the shop, which she inherited from her deeply devoted grandparents.

Cassie rarely dates, but when Joel visits her bookstore, she believes she’s found the perfect man. He’s strikingly handsome, attentive, well-mannered, a touch romantic, and a doctor. Even more surprisingly, he seems to genuinely like her back. There’s just one complication: his ex-girlfriend, Francesca.

Francesca, now the ex, dated Joel for years, expecting marriage and children. Stylish, an exceptional chef, and stunningly beautiful, she bears an uncanny resemblance to Cassie—or is it the other way around? Now alone, Francesca watches as Joel dates someone who seems like a younger version of herself.

Everything Cassie hears about Francesca and how amazing she is, the more she worries about her own relationship with Joel, especially when she starts feeling like someone is stalking her. Someone doesn't want her to be Joel. Is it Francesca? Is her life in danger?

Another good thriller from Freida McFadden! The Ex had me speeding through my audiobook to reach the denouement, which was quite interesting with a couple of good twists.
