WORST. IDEA. EVER
by Jane Fallon (Michael Joseph £12.99, 400 pp)
I’ve been a huge fan of Fallon’s beautifully written novels since her fierce and fresh 2006 debut, Getting Rid Of Matthew.
Here she takes us on a deep dive into the emotionally murky waters which exist between protagonists Lydia and Georgia.
They are best friends for ever and, on the surface anyway, still as close despite their lives taking different directions.
Georgia is a successful illustrator of children’s books with bestsellers on the shelves, international publishing deals and award nominations. Lydia also illustrates but alongside a job she dislikes.
