When happily divorced Joni is reluctantly talked into joining a dating app, she is surprised to quickly hit it off with Ant. Phone calls and texts soon evolve into a plan to meet up.

Which is a problem, as Joni's profile picture is of someone else.

Joni daren't confess her lie. Yet unable to stop thinking about what might have been, she hatches a plan to 'meet' Ant in real life without revealing who she really is.

Once she and Ant are an item, however, it's soon clear that the only thing Ant was honest about was his profile picture. He's still online dating. And intimately texting other women.

So Joni contacts them: they need to know. And once they're comparing notes on Ant, upset turns to thoughts of revenge.

Is Ant about to discover what it's like being on the wrong end of a woman's wrath? . . .

Reviews
I've read - and loved - ALL of Jane Fallon's books, but Just Got Real is her best yet! The plotting is as ingenious and entertaining as ever but this book has a lot of WARMTH and HEART. It's especially gorgeous on female friendship * MARIAN KEYES *
We drop everything for a Jane Fallon novel and this is one of her best * Closer *
Y'know when you find a book that you cannot wait to get back to, that you sneak time on your own with or cancel arrangements in order to read? Well this is one of those books. Had me gripped and spellbound. I kept saying to myself 'Just one more chapter'...and then a chapter later 'Okay, just one more'... I found it impossible to put down. Jane Fallon is SO good at human behaviour and what makes us tick. Fabulous characters and a story that just will not let you go! Loved it. * RUTH JONES *
This escapist gem is loud-snort funny * HEAT *
Jane Fallon's wry observation and razor-sharp wit in this unputdownable page-turner will grab you from the first page and the action races along at breakneck speed. Best of all, this is a tale of female friendship - of three women who have nothing in common except their determination to turn the tables on a deceptive man. * Daily Express *
Funny, fresh and clever...the perfect poolside read * CLARE MACKINTOSH *
Jane just keeps getting better and better. Her books are so smart, funny and warm. I really love her relatable characters, who appear fragile until they become warriors we cheer for * ADELE PARKS *
Witty, smart, topical and full of heart...the sun-lounger smash of the summer * TAMMY COHEN *
Jane Fallon's wry observation and razor-sharp wit in this unputdownable page-turner will grab you from the first page and the action races along at breakneck speed. Best of all, this is a tale of female friendship * Sunday Express *
I whipped through Just Got Real by Jane Fallon in a single sunlounger session and howled with laughter . . . A tautly plotted story of betrayal and revenge, it's threaded with authentic characters and heartwarming friendship -- Clare Macintosh * Good Housekeeping *
Witty, funny, beautifully written and dotted with life's truths like sprinkles on a birthday cake * CATHY KELLY *
Sharply observed, wickedly funny, with real depths of emotion too. Absolutely unputdownable. * MILLY JOHNSON *
Her snappy, clever fiction . . . seems to slip down like a glass of nicely chilled white wine. Just Got Real - her 12th book - makes no exception . . . Fallon has a nose for distilling the zeitgeist and we are in The Tinder Swindler territory here * Sunday Telegraph *
I'm a huge fan of this author's gripping, sharp and brilliantly twisty books, and I'm delighted to report that this latest is just as deliciously readable as the rest . . . A rollercoaster of revenge. I loved it * Daily Mail *

'I loved it.
Jane Fallon's Just Got Real is one of those rare novels that brings both a tear to your eye and a chill to your heart.
The set-up is glorious - a woman who joins a dating app with a fake photo meets a man whose photo is the only real thing about him.
This is the great dating app novel, red in tooth and claw, full of secret lives and lies, the story of what we will do to find love - and how far we will go when that longing is cruelly betrayed.
Just Got Real is a story of four vividly-drawn women and one horribly believable man, a novel about friendship and treachery that contains what must be the killer twist of the year. Totally brilliant.'

'I finally finished this BELTER of a read from Jane Fallon...It is FABULOUS - with such warmth and humour, and the usual dose of the dish that is best served cold. Just Got Real is the perfect summer read.' * CLAIRE ALLAN *
