T
he razor-sharp new novel from the million-copy Sunday Times bestselling author of Queen Bee and Faking Friends.

Best friends tell each other everything.

Or do they?


Georgia and Lydia are so close they're practically sisters.

So when Lydia starts an online business that struggles, Georgia wants to help her - but she also understands Lydia's not the kind to accept a handout.

Setting up a fake Twitter account, Georgia hopes to give her friend some anonymous moral support by posing as a potential customer.

But then Lydia starts confiding in her new internet buddy and Georgia discovers she doesn't know her quite as well as she thought.

Georgia knows she should reveal herself, but she's fascinated by this insight into her friend's true feelings.

Especially when Lydia starts talking about her.

Until Lydia reveals a secret that could not only end their friendship but also blow up Georgia's marriage.

Georgia's in too deep.

But what can she save?

Her marriage, her friendship - or just herself?

Critic Reviews

I loved Worst Idea Ever. Another Fallonesque treat, possibly my favourite so far. Full of heart, humour and humanity. Great characters and a riveting story from the start. She's so good at tapping into the best and the worst in us. Fabulous (Ruth Jones)
Worst Idea Ever is SO GOOD! I read it in one mad gulp (Marian Keyes)
We adore Jane Fallon's novels, and this witty page-turner could be her best yet
Brilliant, gripping . . . Emotionally intelligent and beautifully written
We love everything Jane Fallon writes and this might be her best yet!
Fallon's trademark warmth and humour is very much to the fore with this tale of friendship gone badly wrong
Takes us on a deep dive into the emotionally murky waters which exist between protagonists Lydia and Georgia . . . I adored it
Ingenious. Her eye for detail, compressed emotion and the absurdity that lurks beneath what people say to each other, is unerring. Worst. Idea. Ever. strengthens her claim to be one of our very finest comic novelists
Funny, insightful, sharp, wicked, brilliant - Jane Fallon at her very best (Milly Johnson)
Jane's talent lies in understanding human behaviour . . . Another winner. You won't regret it
All stars
Most relevant
A story of two exasperating women with a questionable moral compass who are supposed to be best of friends. But don’t seem to respect the basics of friendship. Also it’s too long.
