Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Getting Rid of Matthew by Jane Fallon, read by Zoe Telford.

What to do if Matthew, your secret lover of the past four years, finally decides to leave his wife Sophie and their two daughters and move into your flat, just when you're thinking that you might not want him anymore . . .

PLAN A: Stop shaving your armpits. And your bikini line. Tell him you have a moustache that you wax every six weeks. Stop having sex with him. Pick holes in the way he dresses. Don't brush your teeth. Or your hair. Or pluck out the stray hag-whisker that grows out of your chin. Buy incontinence pads and leave them lying around.

PLAN B: Accidentally on purpose bump into his wife Sophie. Give yourself a fake name and identity. Befriend Sophie. Actually begin to really like Sophie. Snog Matthew's son (who's the same age as you by the way. You're not a paedophile). Buy a cat and give it a fake name and identity. Befriend Matthew's children. Unsuccessfully. Watch your whole plan go absolutely horribly wrong.

Getting Rid of Matthew is the sharp and hilariously funny novel from Jane Fallon.

Critic reviews

Praise for Jane Fallon
Chick lit with an edge
A brilliant and original tale
Intelligent, edgy and witty
I love Fallon, she's in a category all of her own - her books are great fun and her characters are fabulous, believable women who take no nonsense (Marian Keyes)

You feel as though you are being whispered to my someone for 8 hours, the narration voice is awful. And you’ll find yourself wanting to look over your shoulder for eavesdroppers trying to catch the whispering.

... After 4 hours it picks up. The story, not the voice.

This will be the last Jane Fallon for me. Fell in love with QueenB but nothing is as intriguing as that book has materialised. I returned Foursome it was dreadful. Story was bad and bad narraters make it unreadable. Shame.

If you can get passed the dreadful narration ....

I love Jane Fallon books and this one was no exception. Such easy listening with a fun storyline. A few twists and turns to liven things up a bit. As other reviewers have mentioned, the narrator is very softly spoken but I think it worked well and doesnt detract from the listening experience at all.

Another great book

This is the second audiobook I’ve read by Jane Fallon and I’m so glad I ignored the negative reviews!

I loved the story, the characters and the narration was brilliant (not at all ‘whispery’ like some other people have suggested).

I managed to listen to it in one go on a dull rainy Sunday afternoon while I was doing my housework, and I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it!

Can’t wait to read my next Jane Fallon book - well done Jane! :)

Loved this book!
