Jane is back again writing a fantastic story of stories. Georgia and Lydia are best friends, they grew up together and very close. When Lydia's online business is struggling, Georgia sees an opportunity to help her best mate out and sets up a fake account encouraging Lydia to keep going, it doesn't go the way Georgia had planned and Lydia starts to open up to Patricia ( the name Georgia has given herself) about her. Disaster? or will Georgia discover more than she has bargained for? Lydia has a secret that threatens to ruin everyone's life. I liked Georgia, I could see myself in her trying to help her friend out, only trying to do good but not I think in the right way. Lydia I didn't warm to at all, I thought she might have a hidden agenda, I wonder if Jane the author wanted the reader to dislike her? I thought it was a refreshing and original plot and Jane has certainly pulled it out of the bag with this story.

Another superbly dark look at friendship and betrayal. I love the sharply observed humour and the credibility, one of the best writers in this genre. Best friends since they were 19; Georgia and Lydia and like sisters, you'd think that would be a good thing. But resentment and insecurities cause cracks in the foundations of their friendship. Bitterness and down right bitchy behaviour, coupled with utter selfishness make this a highly entertaining and guilty read. I loved it.

Worst Idea Ever is a sharply-observed story of tumultuous female friendship, a misguided act of charity, jealousy, vengeance and betrayal. Georgia and Lydia have been best friends for over twenty years. But while on the surface they appear to be soul sisters who are more like family and friends, they are both hiding secret jealousies and rivalry that lurks beneath their love and support of one another. When Georgia, a successful children’s author and illustrator, drunkenly creates a fake twitter account to secretly try and boost Lydia’s confidence in her own creative endeavours, she sparks a chain of events that sees their resentment and irritation boil over and threatens to tear them apart forever. Why on earth have I waited so long to read one of this author’s books?! After inhaling this book in pretty much one sitting and staying up until 3am to finish it as I NEEDED answers, I’m kicking myself for letting her books languish on my shelves for so long. I loved how she pulled the rug from under me with a jaw-dropping twist that took this from an entertaining but predictable read, to one that had me on the edge of my seat trying desperately to figure out what would happen next. It was pure genius and made it impossible to put the book down. Expertly written, Fallon entertains while examining the complexities of issues such as friendship, jealousy, deception and revenge, putting the reader in the shoes of both sides of the story so they can make their own mind up about who and what is right or wrong. She also looks at the lies we tell ourselves to excuse our bad decisions, the damage we can cause to others when trying to do the right thing, and the masks people can wear to hide who they really are. Georgia and Lydia are great characters that I enjoyed individually and as a duo. They have that easy rapport of long-standing, close friendship, that I’m sure we all recognise. They’ve been there for each other’s highest highs and lowest lows and feel like they know each other inside out. But there are things unspoken, fragments of envy and conflict they don’t give a voice to, that lurk under the surface and fester. It is a combination of all of these things that leads to Georgia's misguided act of kindness and Lydia’s Judas kiss of betrayal. If you’re looking for an entertaining read full of twists and tension, then this is the book for you. Compulsive, clever, witty and utterly brilliant, I am an instant fan. Now I’m off to buy more of her books...

Worst Idea Ever has such as satisfying ending - it leaves you thankful that Jane Fallon doesn't wrap the story up where her characters ALL have a happy ending! Georgia and Lydia have been best friends for years - Georgia in Lydia's eyes has it all - perfect job (author/illustrator), a perfect husband, and perfect children (boy and girl twins who have moved away to university.) Lydia on social media has it all - perfect social life but no family ties and is struggling to make it as an illustrator. Georgia thinks she is doing Lydia a favour by making up a fake Twitter account and commenting on Lydia's Etsy account. The story then takes flight and it has lots of twists and turns and I totally devoured it. I truly loved this book!

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. 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 herself, but she's fascinated by this insight into her friend's true feelings. Especially when Lydia starts talking about her. Until Lydia reveals a secret that could not only end their friendship but also blow up Georgia's marriage. Georgia's in too deep. But what can she save? Her marriage, her friendship - or just herself? Firstly thanks to Penguin Michael Joseph UK and Netgalley for an early review copy of this book in return for an honest review. WOW what a book! I loved it! On the face of it Lydia and Georgia appear to be best pals with nothing able to come between them. However once Georgia pretends to be Patricia, a customer interested in Lydia's artwork the trouble starts. I found this story so interesting and absolutely compelling. I love Fallon's writing style and you're never in any doubt as to which character's side of the story we are reading. I also really admire her way of writing the story in 2 first person narratives. It must be so difficult to write a story from two opposing viewpoints and it's a skill I find hugely entertaining. I'm finding it difficult to review without giving away any spoilers so here it is in a nutshell - fantastically written, treat yourself to it and lose yourself to Georgia and Lydia's lives for an afternoon! An excellent 5 star read that I would highly recommend.
