Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good until the endingI 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).

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 anticlimaxI 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 ...
