    A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

    “THE BEST BOOK OF 2026” (KATIE COURIC MEDIA)

    “[This] twist-filled thriller… promises to keep readers guessing from the first page to the last.” —Parade


    Who hasn’t wanted to murder an ex—figuratively, at least?

     Natalie has only ever wanted one thing: a kind man and a chance to create the happy family she never had. There’s just one problem—her boyfriends keep turning up dead.

    Enter James. Handsome, wonderful, perfect James. Natalie is convinced her luck has finally turned. He’s everything she’s ever wanted. More importantly, he’s still breathing.

    But the harder Natalie tries to play the role of the normal, happy wife, the more her dark past threatens to tear her new life apart. As dangerous secrets and cryptic warnings arrive at her front door, Natalie is forced to question everything she knows about her own history. Is a villain toying with her from the outside? Or is there a monster lurking inside Natalie herself?

    To save her marriage—and her husband's life—Natalie must uncover the terrifying truth behind her dead exes. But in a game of toxic love and fatal secrets, does anyone really deserve to survive?

    For fans of explosive suspense, The Exes is a razor-sharp, twisty debut thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
