What Do I Think About The Book?

What happens if someone you love do something wrong? You either get mad and breakup or something else. Well, here comes Greeting Cards for Exes! My thoughts? This is going to be one of my favorite reads of 2025 so far! I like most of the characters, setting is recognizable, and easy to read. I get a lot of emotions while reading the book (feeling emotional). The book has multiple POVs, so I like that.

Overall, I enjoy the book! Do you like a story with multiple POVs, break up, grief, drama, and new love? Then, check out this book! There are some trigger warnings, so keep those in mind.

I have received a free copy from Rockstar Book Tours. All opinions are my own. Thank you!

Synopsis:

Piper Mishner has spent the last year trying to get over her ex, which is hard to do after he decides to move into the apartment next to hers with his new fiancé. As if she needs the reminder of how painful the breakup was. Not to mention, her job as a greeting card writer is now at risk due to her cynicism about love.

“I’m bored with you and need a change.” The infamous words of Kerrie Holloway’s ex-husband, who doesn’t seem to understand the concept of being an “ex” since he wants her to pretend for their kids and family that they’re still together. While dating others and living in the same house. She gets a job in sales at a greeting card company, and is finally on the way to saving for her own place.

Maude Gilchrist has spent over fifty years married to the same man. A man who, one day, just leaves. No goodbye. No explanation. He was just gone. Bitter and alone, she decides to postpone retirement from the greeting card company. Although writing sappy cards about love is the last thing she wants to do.

Through lunch hour talks, weekend getaways, and drunken brawls, the ladies of All For You Greeting Cards Company help heal one another’s wounds and learn there are more important things in life than having a man. There may be a generational gap, but they all have the “ex-factor” in common. Everyone needs a friend by their side. Someone to talk to, laugh with, complain to, watch your back…and to go to jail with you.

Fans of Ashley Poston, Colleen Hoover, Emily Henry, Christina Lauren, Mia Sheridan, and Kristin Hannah will enjoy “Greeting Cards For Exes” by Rebekah L. Purdy.
