About this listen

'The freshest, sexiest, funniest and most poignant book I’ve read in a very long time' – Claudia Carroll, author of The Love Algorithm

‘Clever, original, witty and great insight into marriage and the problems that come when communication breaks down’ – Sinead Moriarty, author of About Us

Your next one might be closer than you think . . .


Tara loved Colin at first sight. Colin loved Tara at first fight. That’s when they knew they were meant for each other.

But after six years, their marriage has started to crumble. Unable to recapture the spark they once had, it seems like it’s all over. Until they meet their 100% match on a controversial new dating app – Fling.

At once heartfelt and hilarious, Fling by Joseph Murray is the story to remind us all that sometimes, what you’re looking for might just be closer than you think.

Critic reviews

Fling is a lightning-fast romcom full of comic capers, heartfelt moments and completely loveable characters. It's hilarious and original, with a genius concept that is begging for the big screen. One of the best books I've read this year. (Laura Price, author of Single Bald Female)
Wow. Just wow. The freshest, sexiest, funniest and most poignant book I’ve read in a very long time. I mean that so sincerely. From page one, I was rooting for both Tara and Colin. I defy any reader not to want to stand and cheer at the end. (Claudia Carroll, bestselling author of The Matchmaker and One Night Only)
Fabulous! A beautiful rom-com of the Nora Ephron variety (Edel Coffey, author of Breaking Point)
Funny, fresh and genuinely heartwarming, Fling is what romantic comedy is all about (Catherine Walsh, author of The Matchmaker)
'A literary soul brother to the likes of Marian Keyes and Beth O'Leary' (Irish Independent)
Utterly original, emotionally astute and cripplingly funny, FLING is a fantastic read that genuinely warmed my heart. Murray is a bright and talented new voice in fiction.

Predictable story, but not a bad light hearted listen. Nothing too serious.
Sometimes cringe characters.

Not bad

Easy listen, amusing enough but the narration of the male voice was very annoying. Story was predictable and sometimes unrealistic

Okish

Really didn’t know what to expect from this audiobook and it did take me a couple of chapters to warm up to the characters but it was surprisingly charming and hilarious! Great book to listen to when you’re pottering about.
