On this episode of Complicated Conversations we are joined by bestselling author Lucy Vine to discuss her delightful new romcom, Seven Exes, about a woman who decides to revisit each of her seven exes, convinced that “the one who got away” is somewhere in the reject pile.  Kate chats with Lucy about the lifelong fascination that inspired this novel; her complicated but highly relatable protagonist, Esther; the way the movie Jerry Maguire sold women a total line about what we really need to be “complete”; how nostalgia can be a tricky fool; the importance of female friendship; whether there is such a thing as “the One”; and the ways Lucy's recent marriage resembles a real life romcom.  Seven Exes is out now!

Milly Dayton became a widow at 25. Two years later, she's got the whole thing down: - Go on the occasional date but bring your engagement ring so you can whip it out for a quick getaway - Steal brunch photos for social media posts so your friends know you're fine - Keep messaging your late husband on Facebook - you're not crazy if you don't believe he'll message you back Milly isn't okay, but she looks it online. But everyone lies about their lives on Instagram, don't they? One day, sick of all the pretence, Milly creates Mizzenial, a new channel inspired by the straight-talking magazines of her childhood.

Funny, tender and heart-wrenching, Love, Loss and Little White Lies is a story for anyone who's felt like everyone else has their life together. Perfect for fans of Holly Bourne, Lucy Vine and Lucy Diamond.

Lucy Vine, bestselling author of Hot Mess 'Feel-good, funny, and very relatable, Everything is Fine is the perfect escapist read.' Anna Bell, author of We Just Clicked Jessica Bradley has it all: the perfect boyfriend; influential healthy-eating blog; successful PR company and wonderful daughter, Anna.

So as they say: fake it 'til you make it. A few little white lies and phoney smiling selfies and Jess can keep up appearances. But when her real-life starts to spiral out of control how can Jess tell the truth from the lies? And will she be able to seize real happiness when it is right in front of her?

This week is full of firsts: we're discussing Marian Keyes' first book, Watermelon, which also happens to be the first chick-lit that our guest Lucy Vine ever read. We get into the Walsh sisters, emotional abuse and why all debut novels are exactly two months long. We also grab Marian herself on the phone to talk about her memories of writing the book and the benefits of not having a clue what you're doing.Music by Harry Harris, artwork by Gavin Day.

So buckle up as Hannah explains why everyone in Korea shares a birthday, Alex looks into urban myths and why that woman probably didn't poo in a bag and leave it in her boyfriend's house, and Caroline examines how Agony Aunt columns were started by a man having an affair.

Bridget Jones first appeared in diary form in the pages of The Independent during the mid-1990s, detailing her life of failed romances, over-indulgence and a determination to change. The columns were collected into a book - 1996's Bridget Jones Diary - which went on to sell over two million copies worldwide and won the 1998 British Book of the Year. A film followed in 2001 which grossed over $280 million and earned an Academy Award nomination for the film's star Renée Zellweger. Three more books and two more films followed, most recently Bridget Jones's Baby, one of the most successful British films of 2016. But Bridget has also attracted criticism. Some feel the character is ‘anti-feminist', getting cheap laughs while exploiting what are seen as some of the worst female character flaws and only finding happiness when she has landed her man. We look at the influence and legacy of Bridget Jones. Why did the character strike such a chord with readers and cinema-goers? Did the films affect the reputation of the books. Are the criticisms levelled at her justified and what influence has the franchise had on wider popular culture? Is the comic novel, as a genre, disregarded and maligned in critical circles? With Daisy Buchanan, Lucy Vine and Andy Miller. Presenter: Hayley Campbell. Producer: Dale Shaw.
