About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Joni never thought she would try online dating. She's so nervous that she posts fake photos - but when she starts talking to Ant, who's desperate to meet her, she doesn't dare come clean. Instead, Joni finds a way to meet Ant without revealing her true identity. It's perfect, it works, and she's happy - until a few months in, Joni discovers she wasn't the only one being deceitful: on Ant's phone are intimate messages between him and two other women.

Hurt and furious, Joni calls the women. They're angry. They want revenge. But how exactly will they get it?

Critic reviews

I've read - and loved - ALL of Jane Fallon's books, but Just Got Real is her best yet! The plotting is as ingenious and entertaining as ever but this book has a lot of WARMTH and HEART. It's especially gorgeous on female friendship
We drop everything for a Jane Fallon novel and this is one of her best
Y'know when you find a book that you cannot wait to get back to, that you sneak time on your own with or cancel arrangements in order to read? Well this is one of those books. Had me gripped and spellbound. I kept saying to myself 'Just one more chapter'...and then a chapter later 'Okay, just one more'... I found it impossible to put down. Jane Fallon is SO good at human behaviour and what makes us tick. Fabulous characters and a story that just will not let you go! Loved it.
This escapist gem is loud-snort funny
Jane Fallon's wry observation and razor-sharp wit in this unputdownable page-turner will grab you from the first page and the action races along at breakneck speed. Best of all, this is a tale of female friendship - of three women who have nothing in common except their determination to turn the tables on a deceptive man.
Funny, fresh and clever...the perfect poolside read
Jane just keeps getting better and better. Her books are so smart, funny and warm. I really love her relatable characters, who appear fragile until they become warriors we cheer for
Witty, smart, topical and full of heart...the sun-lounger smash of the summer
Jane Fallon's wry observation and razor-sharp wit in this unputdownable page-turner will grab you from the first page and the action races along at breakneck speed. Best of all, this is a tale of female friendship
I whipped through Just Got Real by Jane Fallon in a single sunlounger session and howled with laughter . . . A tautly plotted story of betrayal and revenge, it's threaded with authentic characters and heartwarming friendship (Clare Macintosh)

I enjoyed this book, so relevant for this era. Liked narrator felt she got into character better as story progressed

Engaging story, relative

Great entertainment, but the story wasn't as tight or credible as usual, or as sharp. Things went on ten chapters too long. Lacked focus. Decent, but far from her best.

Still a Fallon fan, but ...

This story had me cringing, laughing and nodding my head with understanding and recognition. So clever and with great characters I could identify with. Looking forward to the follow up.

Brilliantly brilliant

Great storyline. I loved the 3 main female characters. Loved the outcome... but did it leave it open for a sequel??? I hope so!
I agree with all other comments about narrator though.... not good. When 2 or more were having a conversation, there was no way of knowing who was saying what. The narrator didn't differentiate the various voices at all, she just read as if she was just reading out loud to herself. Good actress, probably a nice person, but not a good narrator at all!!!

Very Entertaining!!
