Give them a behind-the-scenes look at all things public radio with The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon ($14), which tells the story of Shay Goldstein, a producer at a struggling public radio station. When Shay pitches a show idea in which two exes dish out relationship advice on air, she never expects her boss to recruit her colleague and work nemesis, Dominic Yun, to be her cohost — a tricky situation considering they never actually dated each other.
In addition to the love story (which is equal parts sweet and steamy), this book gives a fascinating look into public radio and everything that comes with a job in the field, from pitching ideas to producing shows. The book also includes transcript snippets of Shay and Dominic's radio show, which are hilarious.
