T
he razor-sharp new novel from the million-copy Sunday Times bestselling author of Queen Bee and Faking Friends.

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?

Reviews

I loved Worst Idea Ever. Another Fallonesque treat, possibly my favourite so far. Full of heart, humour and humanity. Great characters and a riveting story from the start. She's so good at tapping into the best and the worst in us. Fabulous Worst Idea Ever is SO GOOD! I read it in one mad gulp We adore Jane Fallon's novels, and this witty page-turner could be her best yet Brilliant, gripping . . . Emotionally intelligent and beautifully written We love everything Jane Fallon writes and this might be her best yet! Fallon's trademark warmth and humour is very much to the fore with this tale of friendship gone badly wrong Takes us on a deep dive into the emotionally murky waters which exist between protagonists Lydia and Georgia . . . I adored it Ingenious. Her eye for detail, compressed emotion and the absurdity that lurks beneath what people say to each other, is unerring. Worst. Idea. Ever. strengthens her claim to be one of our very finest comic novelists Funny, insightful, sharp, wicked, brilliant - Jane Fallon at her very best Jane's talent lies in understanding human behaviour . . . Another winner. You won't regret it Fallon constructs a nail-biting situation and has us turning the pages at speed . . . Fraught and fabulous, pacy and persuasive A razor-sharp tale of friendship and secrets Highly recommended Praise for Jane Fallon Intelligent, edgy and witty Chick lit with an edge I LOVE her books. She always delivers a fabaliss read A romcom with attitude Sharp and hilarious She's the queen of the revenge novel. Dramatic and engaging from the start, you won't want to put it down Brilliant, with completely unexpected twists Hugely compelling and unpredictable Compelling, edgy, beautifully written Barbed, twisty and full of deliciously dry wit, this is smart stuff to race through Sparkling and unpredictable Darkly comic and addictive Expand reviews
