Just Got Real by Jane Fallon 🌵
For synopsis please swipe ➡️
Someone explain to me how I missed out on Jane Fallon for all these years please?! I didn’t even know revenge comedy was a thing, but damn I bloody love it! And this latest one is as much of a compulsive page turner as the last 🥳
Whilst this is a story of three women trying to get revenge on a man who’s been playing them all, it’s also so much deeper than that. I thought it was also such a gorgeous look at loneliness and making friends as an adult, which can feel so daunting. As much as I loved watching them make Ant squirm, I REALLY loved the moments where the women were all together and just having the best time as friends - and I definitely had some warm fuzzies going on by the end!
I also loved how different our three female leads were - in age, appearance and personality, each bringing something wonderful to the dynamic though. Joni is the real central character, and very easy to warm to (and relate to in many ways, apart from the gym 🤣), but I also fell for sweet widow Mary, and gobby Saffy with a heart of gold. Fallon definitely knows how to write women!
And mind the pricks was certainly right when it came to Ant - what a great villain character he is, and I loved his slow unravelling as the women uncovered the truth about him. Whilst you might guess some of it, it’s still just such a fun, whipsmart read and I really didn’t want to put it down for a minute!
