This is my third Jane Fallon novel (thanks to her Twitter-based publicist myleftfang🐾) and I looked forward to another vengeful delight with a happily-ever-after. I don’t expect a psychological thriller exploring the dark side of human relationships, but a self-effacing heroine turning the tables on a cheating fella with the help of a bubbly best friend. There’s revenge, but it doesn’t involve death or crime. ...Well, maybe a little bit of crime, but only ever for a good cause, and nobody gets really hurt. Holly is a fortysomething singleton, and it's her job as a TV script editor that she ends up fighting dirty over. She’s just won a promotion, when office menace Roz starts running a campaign to make her look bad in front of the boss. There are dramatic twists and over-the-top antics, but also suspense and a real edge. 🍷🍷🍷🍷 CHECK OUT MY BLOG (LINK IN BIO) FOR MORE FUN FILM & BOOK REVIEWS! #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookworm #bibliophile #amreading #author #booklover #pages #literature #pink #bookblog #ilovebooks #booksbooksbooks #bookphotography #lovetoread #write #janefallon #readersofig #booklovers #bookaddict #bookblogger #bookreview #bookcovers #whatiread #instabooks #igbooks #instareads #bookish #booknerd #readinglist
The year has got off to a bit of a bumpy start, but hey at least Instagram has been fun. I've enjoyed coming up with ideas and then getting creative using the equipment I've got, really improvising and trying to get the shot! I'm going to try to create something of a cohesive aesthetic from now, because apparently that's a thing! #latebloomer Check out my blog for book and movie reviews! 🌅⭐ #slowliving #lifestyle #luxe #lifestyleblogger #beachlifestyle #beachlife #aesthetic #islander #islandlove #islandlife #islandvibes #motivation #islandliving #travelphotography #reading #bookblogger #sunset #beachphotography #sea #summer #positivevibes #positivity #bookstagram #reflection #bookworm #blogger #bookaholic #anxiety #amwriting
Me reading Jay Asher's 13 Reasons Why over the summer. No guns or explosives. Netflix really upped the ante. Would be interesting to know what people thought of the book and/or show... 😱😨😵 #youngadult #ya #bookstagram #silhouette #readingspot #readingaddict #readinguk #instareads #readinglove #anxietywarrior #lifestyleblogger #throwbackthursday #booklover #bookish #photographyideas #bookphotography #bloggingforbooks #blogginglife #instabooks #booksofig #readersofinstagram #bookreview #mentalhealth #bloggerdiaries #mood #readmore #bookblogger #bibliophile #booknerd

I'm an aspiring writer, although due to ill health I mainly only review books and movies on my personal blog at the moment. I love speculative fiction, historical, YA and memoirs. Film tastes are eclectic but I love Star Wars and Fantastic Beasts and dislike Marvel and DC.
