Story
Holly is feeling on top of the world - celebrating a new promotion and dying to pop the champagne with her best friend Roz. But is Holly just imagining things, or is Roz - who supported her every step of the way - not as happy for her as she should be? Something about Roz's behaviour doesn't add up. And soon Holly has the sneaking suspicion that there's a target on her back. Has someone been playing dirty in a war Holly didn't know she was fighting? And is Roz more tangled up in this than she'll admit? Only one woman can be left standing - but will the best woman win?

Story
What to do if Matthew, your secret lover, finally decides to leave his wife, Sophie, and daughters and move into your flat, just when you're thinking that you might not want him anymore. Plan A: Stop shaving your armpits. And your bikini line. Tell him you have a moustache that you wax every six weeks. Plan B: Accidentally on purpose bump into his wife, Sophie. Give yourself a fake name and identity. Befriend Sophie. Actually begin to really like Sophie. Snog Matthew's son (who's the same age as you by the way - you're not a paedophile). Buy a cat and give it a fake name and identity.

But when she and three friends visit a psychic for a bit of fun and the woman's predictions start coming true, Lucy is horrified.

Between the bottles of wine, antidepressants and her addiction to self-help books, she's not quite ready to walk, or even stumble, down the aisle sober.

Poor start but got a lot better
Very poor start, the first 15 chapters are slow and boring. Stopped and restarting twice
After the first third the book got much better and resulted in a good book that was difficult to put down!

Slow start but it gets better
I've loved all of Jane Fallon's books so far. This one was a bit of a slow starter but once all the 'ground work' was laid at the beginning, it got so much better. A few twists and turns and a good ending. On to the next!

Unlikeable characters in a difficult story
Tamsin is a whiny, unprofessional, manager who is need of some serious training. I need to put this out there first as the entire premise of this book revolves around something you should never ask an employee to do, and if you do ask then HR should be called in.
However, Tamsin does ask and Bea does comply and all hell breaks loose. I’ve no idea how Patrick managed to score Meesh, though he was a very well acted narcissist so she clearly fell for him love bombing her.
Adam essentially saved this entire book. He was a bit of light relief after so much Eastenders-esque melodrama when he was introduced to it. Though I can’t get over the fact that this entire story could have been resolved by people *having adult conversations*, which made the entire plot just too silly for me at points. I finished it and I’m still a fan of Ms Fallon’s work, though this definitely wasn’t one of my favourites :)

unsure at the beginning
I must admit that I was unsure at the beginning. the main character was, I'm my opinion unlikeable and shallow... but the further I got into the book she grew on me...
During the second half of the book I struggled to put it down and it was interesting to follow the development of the main character.
All in all an enjoyable book with excellent narration.

Easy listening
Really enjoyed the easy listening and light story. Although it is chic lit it was gripping and I did feel sucked into the characters lives. I was looking forward to hearing the next chapter. The only bit that disappointed me was the end, it was so rushed and wasn't what I expected or wanted. Overall though it was a good story and I would recommend if you like Jane Fallon or similar authors.

Fun Chick Lit
I have read a few of Jane Fallon's books by now, and though they very much follow the same formula, I enjoy them. She has sassy characters and even though I can guess where the story is going, it is usually fun and entertaining. I read a lot of crime fiction or historical fiction, but once in a while, I like to break out of those genres with something lighter and this book did the trick. I look forward to reading what she comes up with next!

Uneven
This book had such a slow, dragging start, I almost gave it up. Then it picked up and I thought I had a five star read going- couldn’t put it down. But the ending was awful- like the author ran out of gas and didn’t feel like putting in the time to wrap up the story lines and just added a page to be done with it. SO disappointed!!! Narrator was awesome.

Always The One Left Out
I couldn't tell the narrator switched up, I was so in love with Genevieve Swallow's characterization in the story.
Jane Fallon storyline was mediocre however the narrator keep my attention to the very very interesting twist of an ending. I don't want to give it away however my title kinda does? smile
