About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The razor-sharp new novel from the million-copy Sunday Times best-selling author of Queen Bee and Faking Friends.

Best friends tell each other everything. Or do they?

Georgia and Lydia are so close they're practically sisters. So when Lydia starts an online business that struggles, Georgia wants to help her - but she also understands Lydia's not the kind to accept a handout.

Setting up a fake Twitter account, Georgia hopes to give her friend some anonymous moral support by posing as a potential customer. But then Lydia starts confiding in her new internet buddy, and Georgia discovers she doesn't know her quite as well as she thought.

Georgia knows she should reveal herself, but she's fascinated by this insight into her friend's true feelings. Especially when Lydia starts talking about her. Until Lydia reveals a secret that could not only end their friendship but also blow up Georgia's marriage.

Georgia's in too deep. But what can she save? Her marriage, her friendship - or just herself?

It’s just a nice easy listening book, not life changing but a fun story to listen to while doing stuff round the house

I'm an eclectic reader and I love all kinds of literature. This book's purpose is supposed to be light, relevant and entertaining and it achieved that. I really enjoyed it and I'd definitely read Jane Fallon again. I don't want to insult this by saying it's a guilty pleasure but actually, it's not the weighty literary novel of the decade that normally gers shortlisted for the Booker prize but its funny, tragic with some heart. She writes well for this genre and she knows her audience. She also writes very good observational internal monologue and her characters are believable as I've seen them in real life when I was in my 20s and 30s working in music publishing and TV & Film production years ago. I'd call this style Domestic Melodrama.

Not the best in the World but light & entertaining

I have read and listened to a lot of Jane Fallon books and this one was absolutely superb, on a par with Queen Bee in my opinion. I got through this one in a couple of days. 10/10!

Pretty good performance but the story was a little bit lacking. I love Jane Fallon books but this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me

Not the best but easy listen

Every Jane Fallon book gets better and better. Love her partner, so knew I would love her writing. A great starting off premise which soars off like an out of control rocket !
The narrator does not pronounce g at the end of her words- (Rather like how Priti Patel does not either) which I find irritating. So if you don`t mind tryin listenin without it annoyin you then great.

Love it

Around 30% of this book, roughly around the middle, is actually quite thrilling. It moves quickly, there’s jeopardy, parts where where the reader knows more than the characters, parts where they don’t…

But the beginning and the end, in particular, well… it’s a lot of middle-class people moaning about minor first-world problems. There’s a large sense that everyone will be fine anyway because their self-inflicted problems are so inconsequential.

It’s a passable listen and easy to drop in and out of. I’ll forget almost all of what little plot there is as soon as I’ve pressed “submit” on this.

First-world whining
