I always listen to Jane Fallons work as an audio book. I just enjoy listening to them. Love putting my earphones in while doing the housework or while I’m in the car. The narrater has a nice voice and it matched the characters perfectly. 

All the characters are very relatable and felt real. Lorna was my favourite by far. Everybody works with a Lorna and if you don’t then chances are… you’re the Lorna. If you like a book with some drama then this is for you. It’s full of lying, heartbreak, complaining and a bloody lot of bi*ching but it’s just so good. 

Was so almost a 5star but was missing a little something at the end for me.

Such an entertaining book. I was hooked from the beginning, and I'm sure I would've finished it all in one sitting, if it wasn't for life getting in the way.

The epitome of “I’m a middle aged millennial who wanted to write a cheesy gossip book”. Couldn’t stand any longer

A great read, and read very quickly as I wanted to find out how things were going to play out.

I wasn't sure about this one at first. But it grew on me. There was actual character growth. and no murder OR mayhem. I might even give it 4.5 stars, if GoodReads allowed such a thing.

This is a good chick flick book as it were. There are the likeable characters and dislikeable characters. I did like the characters in this, I thought they were good. Apart from I really don’t like in stories where they are married couples and one of them keeps secrets because they aren’t sure whether to tell their husband/wife. I don’t really know why you would question such a thing like that, obviously tell them. I personally just find that very weird, and that’s what annoyed me in this one. JUST TELL YOUR BLOODY HUSBAND….eventually when she did, obviously he was fine and on her side!
I am properly just writing rubbish now, but yea it was all right. It made me stressed/ anxious in parts, as the main character doesn’t get on with one of her work colleagues, and that’s happened to me in the past, so I could relate to her on the level and felt the stress. I always enjoy Fallon’s books. Easy read
