Jane Fallon

REVIEW QUOTES

Getting Rid of Matthew

"As the producer of the TV shows 'This Life' and 'Teachers', Jane Fallon has proved she's more than adept at dealing with hip, contemporary and often humorous drama of the most compelling order. As a debut novelist she's just shown she can do a similar job on the page."
**** Book of the Week, Daily Mirror

"This witty first novel is a complete winner. It's comic, touching and the narrative races along at breakneck speed."
Daily Express

"This is packed with cringe-worthy moments and a twist to keep you hooked. Brilliant."
Woman's Own

"It's all very well having a married lover, but what do you do when he decides to ditch his missus and come and live with you - just when you think you might not want him anymore? Well, that's the problem facing Helen. Devious, yet hilarious!"
OK!

"Getting Rid of Matthew has its share of close-to-the-bone laughs that wouldn't feel out of place in an episode of The Office."
The Daily Mail

"A sparklingly witty read about just how hard breaking up can be."
**** Closer

"A brilliant and original tale that is one of the best books I have read in a long time."
The Sun

"The incredibly funny narrative mixes farce and emotional drama, which makes for a moreish read."
Easy Living

"Sparkling and unpredictable, a brilliant first novel."
Elle

"Great fun!"
Woman&home

Got You Back

"We love Jane's dark take on the chick-lit tale, concerning adulterous James, his scorned wife Stephanie and his mistress Katie."
**** Heat

"The much anticipated novel from the doyenne of 'revenge lit,' this is a tale of double-crossing, deceit and the sweet taste of vengeance."
InStyle

"James enjoys a wife and child in town, and a mistress in the country. When the two women discover each other's existence, they plot their joint revenge. Then one of them takes things too far. Five star entertainment all the way."
Woman&home

"Another hit from the queen of 'chic noir'."
Woman

"Revenge is sweet in this gripping book from Ricky Gervais' missus."
Cosmopolitan

"The follow-up to the hugely popular Getting Rid of Matthew, this is an entertaining revenge-gone-wrong story about the triangle between husband, wife and mistress."
RED

"Fallon's novels stand out by their sass and attitude and her books offer light entertainment that's also intelligent, edgy and witty."
Glamour

"This is a delicious tale of revenge from Ricky Gervais' other half."
Hot Stars

"It's not often that one book is credited with launching a whole new genre of fiction, but that's what happened when Jane Fallon's debut novel, Getting Rid of Matthew, was published. At first glance it looked like chick-lit, it read a bit like chick-lit, but then, bam, right between the eyes, was something far tougher. Chick noir, chick-lit's bigger, badder sister had landed with a vengeance, putting her cigarette out firmly in the face of its younger wimpier sibling, and we've been waiting for her to reappear ever since. Got You Back follows the same, smart, sassy and dark outlines as Jane's debut... Funny, fresh and a guaranteed page-turner- you'll devour it in one."
Heat

"Ms Fallon set the bar pretty damn high with her novel of last year, Getting Rid of Matthew, but her second stab at "chick noir" is just as fab."
**** Closer

Foursome

"I can't tell you how much I love Jane Fallon: she's a real chick-lit genius. I squealed with glee the whole way through Getting Rid of Matthew and I loved Got You Back... [Foursome] is gripping stuff... it's no surprise that her (Fallon's) characterisation is spot-on, or that her plots are intricate and involved. This is a great, intelligent read and I can't recommend it highly enough."
Daily Mail

"Witty, well observed and free from chick-lit cliches, Foursome will have loved-up couples everywhere questioning just how close they really are."
Heat

"Hardcore Jane Fallon fans can breathe a sigh of relief that she's penned yet another juicy novel... this friend-cestuous love quadrangle might leave you a bit dizzy- from turning the pages so quickly!"
Now

"This witty, grown up and well observed story about marriage, friendship and office politics is absolutely brilliant."
Closer!

"It's been called one of the best books of the year, and we have to say, we agree. Ricky Gervais's girlfriend sticks to her usual theme of adultery in this tale of four old friends who suddenly find their relationships changing in unexpected -and unwanted- ways."
