Rating: - Good until the ending
I enjoyed this book until about the last 100 pages. Up until that point it was witty, funny, entertaining and I sympathised and wanted both women to get their own back. However I felt that the writer got towards the end and either hit a deadline or ran out of steam and the ending was very poor and completely unrealistic. Very disappointing.

Rating: - Patronizing and so annoying!
Jane Fallon goes on and on page after page lecturing about relationships, male and female psychology and what would have happened if certain characters in the book had taken "psychology classes" (they would have understood that James was leading a double life to mask his personality weaknesses).
This book is written with the working class housewife-type in mind, who, by the way, Jane, hates being lectured to.
The characters are incredibly annoying, especially Stephanie and Katie. I didn't ... Read More

The first half of the book is enjoyable, ... Read More

Rating: - A Let Down
Getting Rid of Matthew was sparky, witty, well-written and at times, off-colour. Get You Back is none of these. I was hugely let down and gave up after 140 pages. The story started well, but ran out of steam, dipping its toe in suburban boredom and never really managing to take off. Maybe I gave up too soon.

As a side-note, whoever edited the book might like to give it a second look to correct the typos and missing/inaccurate punctuation.

Had all the signs of a rush job both for the author ... Read More

Rating: - A real anticlimax
I have been waiting for this book since thoroughly enjoying Getting rid of Matthew - I'm also a collector of some authors and was looking forward to placing this on the 'READ' shelf next to her preious book.

However, after only getting gripped by it after reading a third way through I pressed on and on to the end. But it was a complete dissapointment and I felt deflated when I read the last page - it was like Jane Fallon had run out of steam and couldn't be bothered to think up an ending that suited the ...
