PLAYLISTS – We make them for workouts, parties, break-ups or simply organizing our favorite grunge songs into a digital, heart-shaped box. When Harley Aberle got her first iPod, she created the kind of playlist every girl wants to keep on solitary lockdown. She called it The Exesa collection of long-lost songs that instantly steamrolled her down a memory lane of men wider than a six-lane freeway. Skeletons that needed to stay in her closet or so she thought.
Lisa’s book can also serve as a primer for girls ages 14-17 to help assist them to learn some valuable lessons about growing up and making the right choices.
Based on my personal experiences of struggling to find passion at home and at work, The Exes in My iPod: A Playlist of the Men Who Rocked Me to Wine Country is a novel that tracks one womans transformation from redneck waitress to refined wine maven a bewildering journey from lust to love and beer to wine told through a playlist of ex-boyfriend songs.
In this novel, The Exes playlist helps Harley free a labyrinth of skeletons locked deep in the closet of her psychea pot-smoking scuba diver, a bisexual cocaine addict, a military man with a top-secret wife, three Latin lovers, a divorced restaurant manager and a winemaker just for starters. Using lucky 13 songs, The Exes in My iPod: A Playlist of the Men who Rocked Me to Wine Country will inspire readers to relive their relationship failures through their own Exes playlists and discover the hidden beauty of all that baggage our relationship failures make us who we are. They pave our paths in life. They are dating assets, not liabilities. It was Harleys destiny to figure out the key to real love through mind-numbing trial and error and for her not-so-straight or narrow road to Mr. Right and her dream job to stretch from the cornfields of Kansas to Floridas beaches to California wine country.
