Reviews: Worst Idea Ever (27)
“Jane Fallon Does It Again”
(Hardback)
Worst Idea Ever by Jane Fallon Pub Date 29 April 21
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.
Is this a good idea, or does it cause more harm than good?
I find it hard to review further without spoilers.
Worst Idea Ever is another phenomenal read from Jane Fallon; it's clever, entertaining and edgy.
I highly recommended it.
I want to thank NetGalley, Penguin Michael Joseph UK and author Jane Fallon for a pre-publication copy to review.
“Fallon does it again!”
(Hardback)
Jane Fallon does it again!
For fans of Jane Fallon, this does not disappoint. If new to her, this would be an excellent introduction.
A story of suspense, trust, friendship, loyalty and deceit.
An innocent catfishing incident (no spoilers this is super early on- and yes apparently they can be innocent) unravels chaos, deceit and despair within Georgia's life.
A cheating husband, loyal best friend, surrounding friends, embarrassing moments all lead to uncover the twists and turns throughout this book.
A perfect amount of everything lead to an exhilarating showdown. Fallon at her finest.
Loved it.

"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 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 the truth - especially when Lydia starts talking about her - but she just can't help herself. Until Lydia reveals a secret that could not only end their friendship, but also blow-up Georgia's marriage . . .
Jane fallon is back with the latest in the instalment of revenge fiction. No one quite manages to write revenge fiction like her. I was hooked on this book from the first few chapters and ended up reading it in one day Jane writes flawlessly and you really feel as though the characters in the book are someone you can relate to. I hated Lydia from the minute I was introduced to her. And with good reason it seems. The book was a gripping read with room for thought afterwards about how you would have reacted. I think this is one of Jane’s best books to date and highly recommend the book. Now to go find me an Igor
“Wickedly tense”
(Hardback)
I received a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I simply loved this book. I have read most of Jane’s previous novels, but this was, for me, the best yet! As the Twitter subterfuge develops, the feeling of impending doom becomes all consuming.
The story is presented in a two-handed form, with Georgia being the voice of the first half of the story. When the tension reaches screaming pitch, we switch to Lydia and get an insight into her mind. We stay with Lydia, briefly and then the story flips between the two. Maybe that sounds complicated, but it’s easy to follow and works perfectly.
With any deception, there are always innocent, or mostly innocent, victims. The collateral damage of Georgia’s decision impacts on her family and other friends, in a way that seem irretrievable. The exchanges between Georgia and her husband are quite heart-breaking.
I must say, that whilst I didn’t warm to Lydia, I loved Georgia. She is the kind of person that I would want to be friends with. Her heart is definitely in the right place and she cares deeply about those around her. However, jealousy is an ugly master, and as the story develops, we see how damaging the green-eyed monster can truly be.
The phrase page-turner certainly applies in this case. I found myself looking at the clock to see if I could squeeze in another chapter.
