Sex and the Ex – Melanie Cantor

Published 14th January 2027 £8.99 Hannah never expected to live with Charlie again. Not after the divorce. She’s rebuilt her life; her fashion business is thriving and she’s finally in control. Until her mum dies and leaves her the most extraordinary bequest: the beautiful house Hannah grew up in… to be split between her and Charlie. At first Charlie vows he will never live there. But when his life implodes, he decides he has no choice but to claim what is rightly half his. The rules of engagement are simple. Minimal contact. Doors stay shut. Food gets labelled. Communication via Post-its only. But Charlie has never been a stickler for rules, and he isn’t about to start now. Living with your ex is hell. Falling for them again? That’s playing with fire. Melanie Cantor worked for many years in PR and as a celebrity talent agent. She is an addicted house mover: her renovations, which were spotted by a TV producer, led to her hosting the Channel 4 series Making Space. She is the author of Happy Endings (2019), which has been translated into nine languages, and the bestselling The F**k It! List (2024). She has two adult sons and lives between Dorset and London (for now!) with her dog, Mabel. Sex And The Ex is her third novel.Praise for Melanie Cantor ‘Hilarious, subversive and heartwarming’ Jessica Biel ‘an authoritative, heart-warming, unique comedy.
