Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Faking Friends by Jane Fallon, read by Sally Scott and Kristin Atherton.
Best friend. Soulmate. Confidante. Backstabber.
Amy thought she knew who Melissa was - then again, Amy also thought she was on the verge of the wedding of her dreams to her long-distance fiancé. When her career begins to unravel, she pays a surprise trip home to London. Her boyfriend Jack is out, but another woman has been making herself at home.... And that Other Woman is Melissa.
Amy has lost her job, her fiancé and her home in one disastrous weekend - but instead of falling apart, she's determined to get her own back. Piecing her life back together won't be half as fun as dismantling theirs, after all.

A little see through
Not a story I was completely comfortable with given the revenge factor. Fairly easy to spot the final outcome. Good narration.

Charming, well written and fun
I really enjoyed this audiobook. The narrator was superb, and really brought the protagonist to life, capturing the humour and charm of the narrative. The antagonist is a little too horrible to be believable as the protagonist’s best friend for decades. That was a weak spot in the credibility of the plot, but this is not the sort of book that offers gritty realism. Rather it offers a fun and absorbing listen. So the plot flaws didn’t lessen my enjoyment very much.
I’ll be looking for more of this authors’ books.

Schadenfreude to the max
This was a good book and though it’s in the chick-lit genre it’s not at all cheesy (not that it has to be, but it’s typically a main ingredient for chick-lit). The story delves into a deep-rooted, toxic, best friendship between childhood friends and the elements that hold it together and tear it apart. It explores the meaning and recognition of genuine friendships and how “schadenfreude” is not and should never be in the mix. Overall, the story is solid, character development is great, and the ending is truly satisfying.

If you like catty, this is the book for you
Characters are kinda spiteful. Didnt quite
like the vengeful part of it. If catty is what you like, this will be perfect for you.

Best book in awhile!
Oh my stars. I enjoyed this book more than many in recent months. Some books I have had to turn off because of the narrators voice- but in this case, both of these women sound amazing and give stellar performances. Great story- I found myself listening every chance I got to see what happened next. Highly recommend.

Took too long to get exciting
I loved the narrator, she did a wonderful job. British and easy to understand, good volume through out.
I found myself myself wondering "is this book going to be like this the whole time, when is anything exciting going to happen?"
My questions were asked... There IS a plot twist, so stay with it.

Didn't want it to end
I loved this book, read quite a few of Jane Fallons books and this is her best so far. If you like a good bitchfest revenge story then this is for you.

wonderful
This is a cracking listen. I enjoyed every minute. lots of twists. Only downside was I didn't believe the character was nearly forty. they all seemed to be in their late 20s.

Truly awful
With the exception of the latest Helen Fields book, I’ve downloaded some really duds lately.
This one is boring, patronising & fluffy (not in a happy feel good way).
Don’t waste your time. Got to the fourth chapter & couldn’t stand anymore.
Thank goodness for audible allowing you to return books you don’t like!

Easy listening but...
The concept of the storyline is great but I found some of the relationships unrealistic. There didn’t seem to be any conceivable bond between the main character and her best friend which lessened the impact of the crux of the story.
Nonetheless it was entertaining and easy to listen to.

Enter with a twist in the story. 100% chic lit tho'.
Narration brilliant. Story seemed to have a very real protagonist. Revenge is never sweet; growing up is!

Who was the goodie?
Wow! By the end I thought we were supposed to be rooting for the evil friend, the main character was so unpleasant. This is my first encounter with this type of novel and I now know why. It was very well performed which is the reason I made it up the last chapter.
