I read Jane Fallons getting rid of Matthew and found it so hilariously funny, cringe worthy and so cleverly written. My friend lent me the book, and it was what got me reading chic lits. As before getting rid of Matthew i read more crime and thrillers. So when i saw this by Jane Fallon i thought this should be good. Having read it i am in two ...  Read the complete review

While on holiday in Goa last year, I found that our hotel had a 'library' where guests left any books that they had read and didn't wish to take home with them. I took two books away with me and quickly read both of them, so I decided to visit the library and see if any books took my fancy. This is where I came across Got You Back by Jane ...  Read the complete review

I generally love reading a nice bit of chick lit but just lately I've struggled to get into any books and have half a dozen half-finished novels on the go, for one reason or another. 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. I had ...  Read the complete review

Last year I really enjoyed reading 'Getting Rid of Matthew' which was Jane Fallon's debut novel. I loved it so much that when I saw that she had written another book - 'Got you back' - I couldn't wait to read it and I was not in the least disappointed. This book is a tale of revenge and hatred in the extreme. This is focused on James ...  Read the complete review

I really enjoyed Jane Fallon's first novel 'Getting Rid of Matthew' and so I was looking forward to reading her second. It is currently available free with the latest copy of Red Magazine, but unfortunately it didn't come with my subscription copy so I got it out of the library last week instead. 'Got You Back' is a story of revenge ...  Read the complete review

After reading Jane Fallon's first novel 'Getting rid of Matthew' I couldn't wait for her to release another book and even though it was released earlier on last year it was only recently that I got around to purchasing and finally reading her latest book. With just as enticing a plot as the first book I couldn't wait to get into it! ...  Read the complete review

Stephanie has spent nine years in what she thinks is a happy marriage with James. James divides his time between his home with Stephanie ...  Read the complete review

I was lent this book by a friend - we often swap books to get the value out of them. The start of the book was very readable, pretty believable (something I think fiction has to be to make it good) and well written. I'm afraid that's the best bit. It's not that I disliked the book, I did actually enjoy it, but after Stephanie discovers ...  Read the complete review

Not having read 'Getting rid of Matthew' so being completely new to Jane Fallons work I bought this book purely for 2 reasons. Firstly because I heard that she is Ricky Gervaise wife and secondly, perhaps most importantly, it was on special offer at Asda in their 2 for £7 offer. My initial thoughts were that I loved the short chapters so ...  Read the complete review

Before going on holiday, I decided I needed a good read to keep me occupied whilst travelling. I have read a few books by several different novellist's but nothing by Jane Fallon before so decided I would give it ago after reading about the book. Without giving too much information away, I will give a brief description of what the book ...  Read the complete review

After loving the debut novel "Getting Rid of Matthew" by Jane Fallon, I was excited to see that she had another novel coming out this summer called " Got You Back". I quickly reserved it at my local library, but my lovely fiance recently gave me a lot of High Street vouchers so I decided to treat myself to a new copy and bought ...  Read the complete review
