About this deal

Helen had cleaned herself up in the ladies on the way up, and now she was mascara free but still red-eyed, so she kept her headdown and pretended she couldn't hear. The pitfalls of posting on social media were brilliantly observed by the author as was the angst experienced by the main character Iris. Jane Fallon's whip-smart new novel explores the murky truths behind the versions of ourselves we project online, the lengths we go to when we feel we've been wronged, and the often unlikely places we find true friendship. In 2006 she decided to fulfill her lifelong ambition and handed in her resignation and gave herself a year to publish her first title.

Jealous and angry, Iris starts to stalk Maddy and her family and sets up a hate campaign against her online. She worked on the script for several shows the most popular of which was “EastEnders,” where she got promoted to producer in 1994. Iris is angry at this but can’t tear herself away from watching the hundreds of videos on Maddy’s profile, trying to find out how long she has been with her husband, but it’s clear as her twins are 3 years old it’s at least 3 years! She can’t imagine Maddy knows it’s her who is behind the leaks online so she ignored the message from Maddy and let her guess.She lives in North London with her partner of 40 years, the comedian and actor Ricky Gervais (and their cat Pickle, plus the fox family who’ve taken up residence in their garden. Iris had forgotten about the woman who had wronged her all those years ago until … This is where you would have to read Fallons’ book to discover the until, lol. Nobody in their right mind would behave the way that she did and I just found myself really annoyed by the whole thing!

Jane Fallon is an English producer and novelist, most famous for her work on popular series Teachers, 20 Things To Do Before You're 30, Eastenders and This Life. Just after we spoke, it was announced that Gervais had taken on extra security for his UK tour after receiving death threats. Fallon has been in a relationship with popular comedian Ricky Gervais since 1982, after they met whil Jane Fallon is an English producer and novelist, most famous for her work on popular series Teachers, 20 Things To Do Before You're 30, Eastenders and This Life.Now onto the Second Part – this is where we hear from Maddy and what she is feeling at this time after the videos of Lee have been released to show all is not so rosy in her life. It had a cast of pretty unlikable characters, I have to say I did actually detest Iris for the most part, I did find it hard to sympathise with her because of her behaviour, even though she had been through a lot with failed IVF and her husband leaving her for another woman, I did find her actions despicable. These are not friends, and I didn’t like the implication that because they had children and she didn’t they would phase her out. The often gleefully bad behaviour of her characters isn’t without irony because Fallon’s own life could hardly be more settled.
