Kat’s Rating: 4/5
Kat’s Review: Well my first book by this author and to be honesty probably won’t be my last. I won’t bore readers with the synopsis as that can be found in the book description, however what I will say is that I thoroughly enjoyed this book! No it isn’t a totally original idea and it’s a tried and tested formula that works…but for a reason. Amy is our lead character and she is extremely likeable if a little naïve. Her best friend Melissa along with Amy’s boyfriend Jack form the main storyline. In a nutshell (and trust me it’s not a spoiler) Amy finds out that Jack is cheating on her with her best friend Melissa. Amy decides that revenge is the order of the day and this is where the book comes into its own.
The writing flowed easy enough and although this wasn’t necessarily an original idea I liked that fact that the characters were totally people I can draw from in my own real life. Everybody knows a ‘Melissa’ and it makes the revenge element of this story all the more enjoyable. I must say I was surprised at a couple of threads where the story went, and was even more pleasantly surprised at how it was all wrapped up. This is exactly the sort of book that is so enjoyable to read, just cuddle up somewhere and take your mind to a witty, funny and enjoyable place with one of Fallon’s stories!
