About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Joni never thought she would try online dating. She's so nervous that she posts fake photos—but when she starts talking to Ant, who's desperate to meet her, she doesn't dare come clean. Instead, Joni finds a way to meet Ant without revealing her true identity. It's perfect, it works and she's happy—until a few months in, Joni discovers she wasn't the only one being deceitful: on Ant's phone are intimate messages between him and two other women.

Hurt and furious, Joni calls the women. They're angry. They want revenge. But how exactly will they get it?

Gets better

I enjoyed this, but didn’t love it. Surprisingly the narration wasn’t great and I guessed the plot twist quite early on. Never less enjoyable book from an author I like.

Marmite

This is the first book I have read (listened to) by Jane Fallon. It took me several chapters to get into the story and up until about half way through I couldn't decide if I loved or loathed it.
The more I could engage with the characters the more I enjoyed it and enjoyed how it played out.
I struggled a bit with the narration unfortunately. I like a female narrator but they have to be able to adapt their voice to different accents and voices and Tamzin didn't do that. She appeared to use the same voice for all of the characters including male, female, young and old.
I am going to download another Jane Fallon book and see how I get on.
Would I recommend .... probably but just dont expect the book to grab you like so many others do.

Uncomplicated read

Good plot idea but full of clichés , way to much unnecessary detail about outfits and decor which was tedious but on the whole ok. Avsort of gentle non taxing read.

Girl Power!

A wonderful and humorous tale of online dating.
more cautionary for the "players" - do not underestimate the courageous women who sign up to online dating.
A great story of friendship and support.

Spoilt by narrator

I waited months with this on pre order as Jane Fallon is my favorite writer. Meanwhile I revisited everything she has written for a third time, to fill in the wait. I honestly can`t tell how good the book is although I finished listening to it. The end came with more relief than satisfaction. T.A`s grating Essex accent was accentuated by her pedestrian acting skills.(I wish that did not sound so unkind,but reviews on here show it`s not just me.) You could hear where every comma is written as after it, her voice proceeds higher. She slips into saying `noo` then goes back to `new` a moment later. A character you believe is characterized by a deeper inflection suddenly talks in a higher register etc. It makes me appreciate some truly brilliant narrators who are a joy to be with. If this is re-issued with one of Jane`s previous narrators I would buy it again (and try and get my money back for this one)

Funny book

Made me laugh out loud at times. On line dating fun and games. 3 scorned women get their own back!

Predictable and badly narrated

A decent enough story, but very predictable. As others have pointed out the last few chapters were a bit pointless.
The worst thing about this though was the narration. Stopping in the middle of sentences, no intonation in her voice at all and no attempt to make any characters sound different making it utterly confusing. You would expect better from an actress.
