The three main characters are so different but equally likeable, and I think lots of readers will relate to them in many ways. After her studies, she began working for a theatrical literary agency. After a few years there, she decided to become a freelance script reader and script editor for different theatrical productions and television, and in 1994, she advanced to become a producer on the series EastEnders. This was followed by a number of awarded series, such as This Life, 20 Things to Do Before You're 30, and Teachers.

a b c d UCL 11 February, 2020, "Top novelist and television producer Jane Fallon awarded UCL Honorary Fellowship" She then concocts a plan, to accidentally meet Ant in real life without revealing who she really is. I don’t think it was a midlife crisis, but instead I had a big kind of epiphany when I was 45,” says the novelist Jane Fallon. “I actually handed in a book for the first time and that was a big, strange kind of flood of confidence that I had… I think for a lot of women around that age – 45 onwards – you change a lot. And for some people you get a lot more confident, and for others you lose it for a while. I think it’s a really interesting time. And I also think, generally, it’s an age that we don’t look at enough. And you know, women my age have got a lot to say!” Sharp, Rob (13 March 2010). "My secret life: Jane Fallon, author & TV producer, 49". Independent. London . Retrieved 11 August 2022. There are literally two things that are going to happen to all of us: we’re going to get older every single day and we’re going to die. And so we shouldn’t be treating it like it’s something to be covered up," says FallonThe script said: “Susan is just lovely.” I thought: “How can I be that? I’ve been totally miscast.” Susan cares about teaching but she loves smoking and drinking. We couldn’t drink alcohol at that rate and still manage to do all the different takes, so the alcohol was all fake, as were the cigarettes. I’ve never smoked an actual cigarette in my life. Just Got Real is possibly my favourite Jane Fallon offering to date. If you love a feel-good story with female friendship at the heart, with a hint of revenge and a plot that gets you completely invested; Just Got Real is definitely one for you.

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 HousekeepingHet idee van dit verhaal is natuurlijk superleuk, maar voor mij kwam er eigenlijk geen enkele verrassing. Normaal gesproken komt Jane altijd met een heel sterk plot, maar dat ontbrak deze keer voor mijn gevoel. Ook de laatste hoofdstukken vond ik een beetje overbodig. 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 * A deliciously compelling story of romance and revenge. Just Got Real is intelligent, funny, and sharply observed. Be prepared to read in one sitting!" - Lucy Clarke 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.' * TONY PARSONS *

It was such a gift to have Teachers as my first TV show. It was fun doing all these ridiculous things, like having my knees painted, trying on moustaches, and pretending to be a girly girl to impress another younger teacher my character fancied, and not being able to walk in heels. They put a real lion in the boys’ toilets. The penguins were super smelly and quite shy. If you’ve got penguins queueing up to act with you, you know you’re doing something right.

A smart and funny look at the pitfalls of online dating. It provides laugh-out-loud moments . . . I've read all Jane Fallon's books! ADELE PARKS, SUN 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.
