Best friends tell each other everything。

Georgia knows she should reveal the truth - especially when Lydia starts talking about her - but she just can't help herself。

I love Jane Fallon。 Her books are always exactly what you want them to be - funny， clever， and thoroughly entertaining。 And Worst Idea Ever is exactly that。 The introduction sets everything up perfectly， and you get to know and feel attached to Georgia and her family really quickly。 And it goes along seeming like a nice little comedy， one of those books that is pleasant enough but a bit forgettable。 Then there's a twist， and suddenly everything is turned on its head and it is completely gripping I love Jane Fallon。 Her books are always exactly what you want them to be - funny， clever， and thoroughly entertaining。 And Worst Idea Ever is exactly that。 The introduction sets everything up perfectly， and you get to know and feel attached to Georgia and her family really quickly。 And it goes along seeming like a nice little comedy， one of those books that is pleasant enough but a bit forgettable。 Then there's a twist， and suddenly everything is turned on its head and it is completely gripping， drawing you in and not letting you go until the very end。 I won't say more for fear of spoilers， but safe to say if you're a fan of Jane Fallon you will definitely not be disappointed。 And if you're not a fan yet （why not？！）， then you'll love it just as much， if not more， as you get to experience her trademark wit， humour， and fantastic writing for the first time。All in all， a thoroughly enjoyable read which I would definitely recommend。 Disclaimer - I was fortunate enough to be provided with an advance reading copy of this book by NetGalley。 This has not affected my review in any way， and all opinions are my own。 。。。more

“Worst Idea Ever” is the story of Georgia， a successful children’s author and illustrator and her best friend， Lydia who aspires to write and illustrate a book but is stuck in a job she hates。 They have been friends since the age of 19 and whilst Georgia has married Nick and has two grown up children， Lydia remains resolutely single。In order to cheer up her friend， Georgia invents a fake Twitter name and admires Lydia’s artwork incognito hoping to inspire Lydia and help her to sell her work。 How “Worst Idea Ever” is the story of Georgia， a successful children’s author and illustrator and her best friend， Lydia who aspires to write and illustrate a book but is stuck in a job she hates。 They have been friends since the age of 19 and whilst Georgia has married Nick and has two grown up children， Lydia remains resolutely single。In order to cheer up her friend， Georgia invents a fake Twitter name and admires Lydia’s artwork incognito hoping to inspire Lydia and help her to sell her work。 However when Lydia starts to reveal some shocking information to her new internet buddy，Georgia learns some difficult things about her own life and she is not sure what to do。This is a light read on the subject of friendship and betrayal and whilst the first half was entertaining， I did want to shake Georgia at one point when she gets so obsessed with finding out what Lydia knows。 No one that “eavesdrops” ever hears something good and this is certainly the case for Georgia。Lydia suddenly morphs from a fun best friend to something completely different and it was almost difficult to believe that this could really happen。 All in all this was an enjoyable read which I whizzed through in a couple of days。 Georgia and Lydia were interesting characters but the men in the story were rather boring！ Nick and neighbour， Harry， really didn’t have much going for them。Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for my arc in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Chrys ，

Another superbly dark look at friendship and betrayal。 I love the sharply observed humour and the credibility， one of the best writers in this genre。Best friends since they were 19; Georgia and Lydia and like sisters， you'd think that would be a good thing。 But resentment and insecurities cause cracks in the foundations of their friendship。 Bitterness and down right bitchy behaviour， coupled with utter selfishness make this a highly entertaining and guilty read。 I loved it。 Another superbly dark look at friendship and betrayal。 I love the sharply observed humour and the credibility， one of the best writers in this genre。Best friends since they were 19; Georgia and Lydia and like sisters， you'd think that would be a good thing。 But resentment and insecurities cause cracks in the foundations of their friendship。 Bitterness and down right bitchy behaviour， coupled with utter selfishness make this a highly entertaining and guilty read。 I loved it。 。。。more

This has an interesting premise and is a very easy read but I wanted （and was expecting） more。 I enjoyed the first part but once the characters work out what's going on， the story peters out a bit and just sort of plods on to a fairly tame conclusion。 Surely after such jealousy and betrayal there would have been more fireworks， even revenge perhaps， something anyway？ That said it was a enjoyable read but very much a nice read rather than a must read。 This has an interesting premise and is a very easy read but I wanted （and was expecting） more。 I enjoyed the first part but once the characters work out what's going on， the story peters out a bit and just sort of plods on to a fairly tame conclusion。 Surely after such jealousy and betrayal there would have been more fireworks， even revenge perhaps， something anyway？ That said it was a enjoyable read but very much a nice read rather than a must read。 。。。more

Very good。 Love how this author can make you believe that you have been reading one story but then twists it right in the middle so it turns it on its head and you are left questioning what you have just read。 Shows how even though you think you know your friends and your friendship with them that it can all change in a single moment。 Thank you Netgalley for the free copy of this book。

Absolutely brilliant！ The characterisation and plot is perfect， I read this in one sitting and I would highly recommend this。 It’s a fascinating insight into the world of publishing but centres around the story of two best friends and a series of lies。I have read some of Jane’s books before but this has reminded me of how good they are。 I will definitely be reading some more。

Helen Leecy ，

This was an epitome of a Jane Fallon book。 A cheating husband， a neurotic wife， a suspicious friend， lots of intrigue and suspicion。 The perfect recipe。Fallon does betrayal superbly， and this book is full of it。 What starts off with a friend innocently trying to boost her best friend’s flailing confidence turns quickly into duplicity and deception。 There is quite a lot to untangle once the story gets going as no one knows who is telling the truth or who has your back。The characters are really we This was an epitome of a Jane Fallon book。 A cheating husband， a neurotic wife， a suspicious friend， lots of intrigue and suspicion。 The perfect recipe。Fallon does betrayal superbly， and this book is full of it。 What starts off with a friend innocently trying to boost her best friend’s flailing confidence turns quickly into duplicity and deception。 There is quite a lot to untangle once the story gets going as no one knows who is telling the truth or who has your back。The characters are really well developed; I want to be Georgina’s friend。 She seemed so lovely and likeable， that is until she discovers the truth and the claws came out。 She didn’t just sit back and let things happen to her; she fought back。The twist at the end of Part one had been obvious the entire way through， although I hadn’t guessed Lydia’s main motive for what she was doing。 Even though it is explained， it was hard to wrap your head around a friend so close to Georgina that she considered her a sister， doing what she was doing。The off branches of the story， including Anna Marie and Harry， made the story feel well rounded。 You were just as invested in them as you were with what happening with Georgia， Lydia and Nick。I thought this book’s title was brilliant; it really sums up the entire story， Georgina’s idea to help a friend really did turn out to be the Worst Idea Ever！I did think the story petered out a little bit towards the end， especially once Georgina knows what is going on。 It reaches a peak at this point but then fell a little flat with everything， just sort of plodding on。 I wanted a few more fireworks as a consequence for all of their actions。Overall， a brilliant read， well-written， and it really kept me gripped。 Once again， and I say this every year， I now have to wait impatiently for a year for Fallon’s next book！Thanks for reading！ If you want to see more of my reviews visit www。pinkanddizzy。com 。。。more
