Foursome
Rebecca, Daniel, Alex and Isabel have been best friends since university. Rebecca married Daniel, Alex married Isabel and, for twenty years, they have been inseparable. But all that is about to change...When Alex walks out on Isabel, Rebecca thinks things can't get any worse. But then she finds out the reason why and she's left harbouring a secret she'd rather forget...And there's more upheaval to come in Rebecca's life as her emaciated, neurotic, self-obsessed colleague, Lorna - her arch nemesis at work - suddenly becomes a regular feature in her social life. Rebecca's once-happy foursome is now a distant memory and with hearts broken and friendships fractured, it seems that change is never a good thing. Or is it?

It panned out better than I thought it would and this is a perfect example of a ten-star rating system, being a good 7 out of 10 read.
The female characters are well-written and believable (for the most part) with a strong underlying value system which comes through. The conundrum for me came with the relationship between Rebecca and Lorna. I was expecting the bitchy nature to persist but some of the directions the plot took threw me a little. However, it was really great to see women actually supporting each other, rather than the undermining, volatile relationships continuing.
The resolution was very satisfying. Not quite a four-star read but lovers of good chic-lit will definitely rate this one highly. Maybe if I had anticipated the outcome of the Lorna saga I would not have been so confounded. Worth giving it a go.

2.5 stars round up to 3.
Oh, I don't know, it is definitely hit n miss with Jane Fallon for me.
This started well, and was really promising...
Bex, Daniel, Isabel and Alex have been best friends for ever, since jolly college years. Years, marriages and couple children later they are still very close. Nothing seem to break their bond.
Until... Alex gets drunk and Lorna becomes more than an assistant.
I like how realistic the story unfolded, and that it was well paced, never getting stuck, constantly something moving, something happening.
I disliked Alex from the start. Sneaky, petty, clingy. Lorna.. well, you are supposed to warm up to her gradually, but I just couldn't.
At times it felt like everything is tangled up too much.
So OK of a book. Nothing more than that.

Such an entertaining book. I was hooked from the beginning, and I'm sure I would've finished it all in one sitting, if it wasn't for life getting in the way.

Rebecca, Daniel. Alex, Isabel. Four best friends who met at university and end up married, having babies and living just streets away from each other. When Alex ends his marriage to Isabel, everything changes - and Rebecca is forced to acknowledge that life might never be the same again, especially when Alex gets together with Rebecca's hated colleague, Lorna.
Okay, here to start with is a comment on book covers. I'm used to my chick lit novels having pink or pastel or glittery covers. Foursome has a slightly more serious cover and I was fooled into thinking that Fallon might be covering weighty issues the way that Marian Keyes does in her books. Instead, we get a fluffy tale about a falling out between friends and how lying is BAD. And, yes, that message is hammered home.
Having got my head around the difference between cover and contents, I whipped through this soft confection of lies and lovers in less than a day. Fallon's prose is incredibly readable - she had me turning pages feverishly, even though I scoffed incredulously at most of the plot within the book.
I really enjoyed the first part of the book where the savage office relationship between Rebecca and Lorna is explored. Lorna is a hateful character, memorable, spiteful and with a fantastic turn in passive aggressive behaviour. I had the urge to throttle her, and, as far as I'm concerned, if an author makes you have a visceral reaction like that to a character then they are doing a fine job.
My problems came when Rebecca decided that, rather than tell her bosses that Lorna was going through big personal issues that kept her from work (the normal way to deal with a work issue), she decides to perform a series of lies and charades to pretend that everything is fine with Lorna's performance. This just wouldn't happen, and I could not suspend my disbelief. At all. I found myself rolling my eyes at the behaviour of many of the characters.
With that said, I think Fallon also has a deft touch when it comes to characterisation. She writes strong and real female characters, who are bitchy and loving by turn. Those that are mothers have warm and realistic relationships with their children, who are also written well.
With Fallon's ability to write these great characters, and her smooth prose, it made me even more disappointed at the ridiculous plot. I would really love to see what Fallon is capable of when she has a decent storyline to work with. I will be reading more novels by this author, for sure, but now I know that I shall be using them as light reads when I need fluffy escapism.

It started off OK but as it went on it dragged....mainly because you want to punch most of the characters in the face!

Rebecca and Daniel are happily married, and love their life together with their two children. They’ve known their best friends Alex and Isabel since they were at University and they’ve always done everything as a Foursome, from getting married to babies and even group holidays.
So when Alex leaves Isabel, it shatters their foursome once and for all and Rebecca isn’t happy. It’s made even more awkward when Alex makes a shocking confession to Rebecca, one of which might change the group dynamics forever. Suddenly, Alex appears with new girlfriend Lorna, who also happens to be Rebecca’s enemy at work, and the two instantly clash. Is their foursome destined to be broken forever?
I adored Jane Fallon’s debut novel Getting Rid of Matthew, and then went straight to the shops last year when her last book Got You Back was released, and I loved that too. I’ve been waiting for news of Jane’s third book for ages, and so when it finally went up on Amazon I was so excited! I didn’t like the first cover that was released so when the finished version seen above was shown to us, I thought it suited the book much better. When the book was delivered to my house a few weeks ago, I eagerly started to read it and devoured it in just a couple of days, it was fabulous!
As usual with Jane’s books, it centres around a strong female lead characters whose friends and family feature in the main storyline around them. Our narrator is Rebecca, married to Daniel, and best friend to Alex and Isabel. Rebecca is a character I warmed to immediately, and I loved her narration of the story. We get Rebecca’s thoughts on the failure of her friends marriage and the knock-on effect this has on the other characters around her. It’s at time an amusing narration, but it also gets the raw emotion, and this I find is where Fallon really does well.
Her previous novels have focussed on the wronged woman, but this book seems to change tact because the wronged woman in this story is actually the one we see least of all. I expected for Isabel to feature heavily in the book but she’s in only around 5 or 6 scenes in total, and even then not for very long. Therefore, while I sympathised with her I couldn’t necessarily feel much for her character. Fallon instead chooses to focus on Alex and Lorna in the book, and their relationship with Rebecca. This made for an interesting dynamic and shows us how hard it can be bringing a new person into an established friendship group.
As ever, Fallon isn’t afraid to tackle some of the more awkward moments in relationships, and this book is no different. The non existent relationship between Rebecca and colleague Lorna is great to read because its so awkward between the pair, and I was cringing at times with the interactions I was reading! I love how Fallon doesn’t make Rebecca a weak character, she does stand up for herself and I quickly found Lorna to be a character I disliked immensely, although she made for great reading. I also enjoyed reading Rebecca and Daniel’s marriage, it shows a relationship after many years and seemed very realistic.
The book touches on the world of acting because Rebecca works for an acting agency, and I enjoyed these little offshoots in the novel. Ithink it added a new perspective to the story and gives you a little break from the more emotional storylines that feature in the book. Fallon’s writing is so easy to read, you can lose yourself in the shortish chapter in the books and find that you’ve ploughed through a quarter of it before you’ve realised as its so enjoyable. I really couldn’t put it down because I wanted to find out what was going on next!
If you’ve loved Jane’s previous books then you’ll love this, but its also a great place to start if you haven’t read any of her work before. It is great chick-lit, lots of characters that you can care about, plot twists and turns that keep your interest for the duration of the book and I loved it. Jane’s debut novel Getting Rid of Matthew remains my favourite book by Jane, but this one is definitely a close second. Jane’s books seem to appeal to a large age generation, and I know I’ll be sending my mum this to read next! Very enjoyable, and a great one to pack for your holidays!

I can’t say this book is a happy read as the plot is all secrets , broken relationships and friendship going awry .
It’s a intelligently written book but it does lack emotion . The characters aren’t ones that I cared about , there was no real definition or outstanding qualities that made them likeable to be honest.

This book was surprisingly brilliant and I was hooked straight away. With a witty, intelligent storyline and realistic, lovable characters, Foursome is definitely a book I'd recommend to others. Perhaps just ignore the rather misleading front cover!

I found this book quite tiresome- I kept plugging away hoping it would get better. I just couldn't decide whether I loved or hated the characters & it ended up irritating me.
January 23, 2018
I enjoyed this book. Although somewhat predictable in parts it was a good easy read. I enjoyed all the characters ans how they all meshed together in this book.

Deliciously enjoyable. A naughty secret of a book. Best read playing the music you like to listen to when no one is listening.

Not a bad book. Two couples, lifelong friends, one of the husbands hops the crazy train and decides he wants a new life. It was a quick read for me with a couple other characters thrown in to hate as well. Sometimes there’s nothing better than reading a book that you don’t need to put a lot of thought into.

I've, surprisingly, quite enjoyed this book. I thought I'd loathe Rebecca as a narrator, but I rather liked her.
I don't want to reveal much but this book is filled with drama (LOTS OF DRAMA) but it has room for some character development and several funny moments.
I won't go about recommending it left and right, but if you stumble upon it I'd say you can give it a go and have an ok reading.
Funny thing, my dirty mind tricked me with the title and thought the story might have something to do with an actual foursome or a partner-swapping. I can assure you it has nothing to do with it. In fact, it's actually very modest.

I usually love Jane Fallon the way she creates interesting characters, allows a bond to develop, drops a bombshell about them which makes you question your morals and then makes you hate/love them before ensure their worlds collide with a harsh dose of reality and a serving of justice.
However, this book, which was an audiobook and had been very nicely read to me, left me feeling really dully towards the characters, which I had no sympathy for, I didn't like Alex, Isabel (his wife) I felt nothing towards, Rebecca and Dan I wasn't really fussed about either. I just found them to be so dull and bland epspecially the male characters who I felt were weak. Alex was a total cry baby expecting to have everyone drop to him after he decide to throw his life away with his wife and want she who doted on him all these years, looking after their house, his needs and their children to just do whatever he wanted with orchestrating the children to visit. He was a spoilt brat and that really annoyed me, I wanted Isabel to have a little more gumption and kick him where it hurts from the very beginning and Dan was an absolute wetter.
After my disection of the characters, I feel that the actual story itself was really tiresome, I'd pick it up and put it down, just really struggling to get through it and flying through other books, sometimes you just don't jell with some books, even when you know the author is a really good writer.
You win some, you lose some.

I'm not usually a big fan of chick-lit, since most of it falls into "vagina celebration" territory, but I found this book to be quite entertaining.
Rebecca and Daniel, and Alex and Isabella were two couples who met in university. Their world is turned upside down when, after 20 years, Alex suddenly leaves Isabel and confesses his love for Rebecca. After Rebecca rejects him, Alex ends up dating Rebecca's workplace nemesis, Lorna.
While I enjoyed story itself, some of the office escapades really stretched the bounds of reality. In most offices, I would imagine that reading, printing, and sharing a co-worker's personal emails would be an instantly fireable offense. There would be none of this half-assed line of questioning, "Did you do it?" "Nope." "OK, carry on, then." It also seems unlikely that there would be no fallout from covering (and lying) for an absentee coworker for over a week. Joshua and Melanie would have to be terrible people to not personally check up on their employee for that long.
The ending wrapped up a little too neatly for my liking, but overall, it was a great summer holiday read.

Foursome, despite the title, is NOT erotica. The foursome referred to is a group of friends, two couples, who have known each other and been the mainstay of each others social lives for many years. When one of the marriages breaks up (Alex and Isabel), it has far reaching consequences and causing Rebecca to reexamine whether she every really knew them or anyone for that matter. There is another storyline in the book which revolves around Rebecca’s job and her interactions with a co-worker, Lorna. That particular storyline sums up very accurately why women are their own worst enemies as far as professional lives. I have watched these kind of relationships/interactions in places I have worked and it never ends well. I thought that part of the book was very accurately done.
I guess not having life long friendships like this, I really didn’t get some of this. When the friendship became, so much work/drama/chaos and zero fun or actual friendship, I just would have moved on and …then you wouldn’t have had a story. The main ideas here are that you never really know anyone as well as you think and that secrets will always out. Competently written and engaging enough for a quick read.

This is a story about fairly average people. Two couples, Rebecca and Dan and Isabel and Alex who have been best friends since uni. That is, until arrogant Alex leaves his wife, Isabel, craps all over his best mate, Dan, by telling said best mate's wife, Rebecca, that he's in love with her and the ensueing mess that follows.
All of the charcters are fairly dull, fairly average, but the author does have a way of picking up on the mundane aspects of people and their lives in a rather readable fashion. She has a beautiful way of writing which I enjoyed, Though I found the book engaging I didn't really warm to any of the characters. Maybe that was Fallon's intention.
The most engaging of all the characters was Laura. Even though she was evil she had more depth to her and I enjoyed hating her.
I think the quality of writing is the best thing about this book, the author has talent and I would check out some of her other books. But this particular book which I bought from a charity stall in my local hospital for 50p will definitely go on my "To give away" pile.

A lot of heavy reading recently, so I took a fem-lit break with Foursome, my second Jane Fallon book.
It is not one of the 'Seven Story Lines'. It's just family/work shenanigans, a comic suburban caper. Just like after my first Jane Fallon book, I come away thinking women, and family in general, inhabit a very complicated world.
All good fun.

I think I actually enjoyed the small business 'office politics' more than the relationship saga. I found both male characters weakly portrayed and unlikeable.
May 27, 2014
I was glued to the whole story. I loved all of the characters they seemed so real. Jane Fallon has become one of my favourite authors.
July 28, 2018
A great light hearted read. Kept me hooked.
November 28, 2019
Not the best read from Jane Fallon, and I've read all of them, but what made it worse was the narration, truly awful.
February 26, 2020
One of her better books, with original themes.
September 7, 2020
I started off thinking 'what am I reading'? But quickly got drawn in and smashed through it. I actually enjoyed it, maybe I'll risk it and try another of hers!

Fun and easy read for a day at the beach. I would've probably thought otherwise if there was no day at the beach involved.
January 25, 2024
Read this in a week as I couldn’t put it down - the main character was feisty and loyal- it’s about 2 couples and the trial and tribulations when one person upsets the status quo - really enjoyed it

Dit was voor mij een luisterboek. Maar heerlijk boek om naar te luisteren met een glimlach op mijn gezicht.
