Product Description

Review

Sparkling and unpredictable, a brilliant first novel (Elle )

Jane Fallon injects a smart edge into the chick-lit genre (In Style )

Product Description

A husband. A wife. A mistress. And the ultimate plan for revenge... The husband James never intended to lead a double life – with a wife in London and a mistress in the country, it’s exhausting. But that’s all about to change... The wife Stephanie isn’t really snooping when she finds a text message from a strange woman on her husband's mobile. But now she’s found it, how can she ignore it? It’s time to track the woman down and find out what’s going on... The mistress Katie has no reason to believe her boyfriend, James, is cheating until someone claiming to be his wife gets in touch. Now she’s been cast in the role of mistress. Not one she’s happy with.... Once Stephanie and Katie know about each other, they must decide what to do. They could both just throw him out or they could join forces to make his life hell first… But revenge isn’t always sweet. And what happens when one woman thinks enough is enough but the other doesn’t know when to stop?

3.0 out of 5 stars a good read but disappointing, 24 Aug 2008
By Kate (england) - See all my reviews
I really enjoyed Getting rid of Matthew and had high expectations of this. It started fine with Stephanie seeing a text that she shouldn't and finding out husband James was leading a double life. This set in motion several acts of revenge by wife and mistress on poor unsuspecting James. This was quite amusing but the story lacked the sharp wit and humour of the previous book and James turned out to be a bit pathetic . Stephanie's new boyfriend did not spice things up at all and the story petered out very predictably. I have still got Jane Fallon's first book as I will read it again but I can't see myself reading this a second time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but was expecting a twist..., 1 Sep 2008
This book started off really well, the characters were believable and the plot was interesting enough to get me hooked. When the plans for revenge were unfolded between the two women, I couldn't put the book down. I wanted to see what they were going to do to him and with each new drama, I was drawn further and further in as James' life unfolds dramatically around him with seemingly no idea who's behind it all. But then something odd happens, it's almost as if the author had a change of heart half way through because the story goes from this, to a less dramatic story of a woman getting over the break up of her marriage and moving on to a new relationship. The one "big event" that was planned early on in the book (that I was really looking foward to reading) doesn't even go ahead.

But I kept reading as I had began to care about the characters and what happens to them all in the end...and secretely I was hoping for some big twist at the end and was disapointed when this never happened.

But that said, it was a good 'light read' but I wouldn't read it more than once.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terribly over hyped, 22 Sep 2008
A very disappointing read. The characters were completely unengaging and unconvincing; I couldn't really have cared less what happened to any of them. And it takes quite some skill to make an 8/9 year old child so unappealing. The dialogue was sparse and unconvincing, interspersed with what felt like interminable, dull narrative - much of which I ended up skim reading. Basically, if the author wasn't who she is, I doubt she'd even have got this published, let alone hyped so much! I bought this on a 3 for 2 (so basically free, right?) - and I still felt cheated.
