Part 1: The Main Plot Of Flirting With My Ex-Husband Novel
Scarlett Reed used to be a shameless girl who demanded Raymond Shaw, her childhood crush, to say “yes” to her incessant proposal. Scarlett’s persistence leads her to become Mrs. Shaw for three years. She finally feels happy that she stays with her beloved Raymond in the Shaw Residence villa.
Unfortunately, Raymond never regards her presence. His heart is never set on Scarlett since their first encounter. Instead, Raymond’s dream girl is Julie Woods. Raymond also clarifies to his family members and employees that he doesn’t want anything more to do with Scarlett.
Those things lead Scarlett to leave her lovey-dovey feelings behind. She packs her things and declares to the Shaws that she will no longer be Mrs. Shaw. At first, Raymond doesn’t think Scarlett is serious about her decision because he has calculated everything about his real estate ownership to a point, where he is sure he can kick Scarlett out of the property as much as he pleases.
Even Alexis, one of Scarlett’s friends, laughs at Scarlett’s determination to divorce Raymond for good. Scarlett also frequently experiences nightmares after her divorce from her childhood crush. Thankfully, Mark Jones, a young, handsome, and popular online hunk, comes to Scarlett’s rescue.
Scarlett of Flirting With My Ex-Husband starts to live a happy and peaceful life after she meets Mark. Mark treats Scarlett way better than Raymond when she is still married to the latter. Even when their first encounters only happen in a few minutes, Scarlett quickly gets comfortable around Mark.
On the other hand, Mark’s presence disturbs Raymond so much. He can’t stop looking at the happy couple from his black car. First, he feels resentful toward Scarlett. Then, he vows to himself and his employees to get back to Scarlett, no matter what!

Part 2: Meet The Characters Of Flirting With My Ex-Husband
Scarlett Reed
To the outsiders, Scarlett Reed of Flirting With My Ex-Husband might sound like a dumb woman. She has been blinded by her love for Raymond Shaw, a man who never wanted her in her life. When she finally married Raymond for three years, Raymond never touched her or treated her properly.
At the same time, it doesn’t mean Scarlett doesn’t have boundaries. When I read the chapters in Flirting With My Ex-Husband, I get the impression Scarlett only sets boundaries when necessary. Otherwise, she would unconsciously open rooms for people to get close to them.
Raymond Shaw
Raymond’s callousness and indifference in the Flirting With My Ex-Husband novel are Scarlett’s reasons to appear shameless. As we read more chapters, we will have more vivid pictures of who is the real shameless guy.
I guess Raymond becomes shameless when Scarlett starts seeing Mark because he feels Scarlett hurts his pride. At the same time, he should’ve stuck to his decision to refuse to marry Scarlett and not pin all the blame on her by marrying her and framing scenes as if Scarlett is the shameless girl.
Mark Jones
Mark Jones of Flirting With My Ex-Husband has set his eyes on Scarlett since she wasn’t married to Raymond. That’s why he takes the chance of hugging Scarlett in public a few minutes after the City Hall officers issue the Divorce Agreement letter between Scarlett and Raymond.
Like Raymond (and, I believe, most other male characters in Flirting With My Ex-Husband), the gods seem to have blessed Mark with a handsome face and popularity. Even though he’s popular with girls, Mark remains faithful to Scarlett. He even treats Scarlett far more decently than how Raymond used to treat her.
Part 3: Some Analysis Of Flirting With My Ex-Husband
Flirting With My Ex-Husband is one of the most interesting novels I’ve ever read, mainly because of how the rest of the characters frame Scarlett, the female MC. The term “bad friend” is one of the terms I constantly see in this novel, which adds to this novel’s point of interest.
I’ve heard many novels about female MCs phoning their female best friends. These novels often portray the best friends as a kind-hearted and compassionate confidante. However, such a scene doesn’t happen in Flirting With My Ex-Husband. Alexis’ snarky behaviors often get Scarlett on her nerves, especially in the first few chapters. Even Raymond has “bad friends” who trick him into contacting Scarlett, the woman he wants to keep “no contact” with.
The main story idea of Flirting With My Ex-Husband is about a shameless young woman (Scarlett, that’s her) who flirts with her childhood crush. Yet, the author wants to portray Scarlett in a brighter light. So, I wish for more background stories about how Scarlett acts that way, including the possibility that her parents never listened to her when she was a child.
Another highlight I noticed when reading Flirting With My Ex-Husband novel is about making peace with an ex-husband. It is more than just Scarlett learning to let go of her past. For Raymond, coming in contact with his ex-wife also means he will learn something from the relationship.
I believe the first lesson Raymond will learn in this novel is to let go of his prideful and envious nature. He can go every time he wants to with Julie, the woman he loves. Then, Scarlett would experience true happiness with Mark, an individual who respects and loves her more than Raymond does.
Part 4: An Alternative Novel To Flirting With My Ex-Husband
Flirting With My Ex-Husband suggests a reconciliation between Scarlett Reed and her former husband, Raymond Shaw. Scarlett knows so well her wrong decisions in the past: She has given her heart to the false man for a decade. Then, Scarlett discovers Raymond is a brutally honest, cold, and ruthless man.
Here, “ruthless” is the wake-up call for Scarlett to be determined to divorce him for good. Alas, some things reunite them, and we can only wonder what will happen after their reconciliation. So, have you ever thought of a novel with an identical theme on the Dreame platform?
If you’ve ever dreamed of such a novel, you could read Living With My Ruthless Ex-Husband. At first, Lucas wants to divorce Garrie, his wife, because he accuses her of nagging and being in a paranoid state of mind. Unfortunately, he forgets to announce his divorce with Garrie in front of his grandmother.
At the same time, Garrie’s health condition worsens once she returns to the Philippines. Now that Lucas has understood the situation, what will he do? He has to pretend to re-marry Garrie in front of his grandmother. Who knows, an act to please the grandparent can change into a loving feeling?
