I usually go for a more traditional set in the past book when life is so much simpler something I have never experienced being quite young. But for a change I decided to give this modern day book a go. After reading the back of the book I was intrigued a guy who was trying to lead a double life that would eventually become tangled, it had to be good. ******The plot****** The story follows the entwined life of three characters, James, his successful wife Stephanie and his down to earth mistress Katie.

Having previously read Fallon's debut novel, "Getting Rid of Matthew", and enjoyed it I had high hopes for this novel. The premise is simple.

A few weeks ago, I noticed that Red magazine was giving away a free novel which happened to be 'Got you back' by Jane Fallon and I couldn't resist a freebie.
