Georgia and Lydia are both illustrators except that Georgia has a book deal, and Lydia is working in a job she hates in publishing striving to become successful. 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 a confidence boost by posing as a potential customer. When Lydia
starts confiding in her new internet buddy “Patricia” Georgia discovers she
doesn't know her friend quite as well as she thought and although she knows
that she should reveal her identity she is drawn in by the secrets that Lydia
is revealing…secrets that could end both their friendship and Georgia’s
marriage.
AMAZING!
I can’t tell you how much I adored this book and I want all my friends to read
it so we can talk about it! It is my favourite book of the year so far. Jane
Fallon never disappoints her readers with her true to life writing style – it’s
like you’re having coffee with a friend and she is telling you this wonderful
story about colleagues at work. It’s a very personal style of writing, and
makes you feel included in the plot rather than just observing it. – you’re in
the living room with the characters, not looking in through the window.
As
for those characters, I couldn’t stand Lydia right from the start, initially I
wanted to, but she just seemed consumed with jealously for her friend, so I was
glad that Georgia had a bit of fire in her belly and didn’t take any of it
lying down and stood up for herself. I’d
love to go for a girl’s night out with Georgia and Anna Marie (the friend who
lives down the road!)
I
also didn’t see the twist coming at the end of part one, which was a lovely
surprise.
All-in-all
a remarkable read – I want to scream about this book from the roof tops!!
