Fling is the story of Colin and Tara who have being together for 18 years but lately they have lost each other . When a new dating app called fling is launched especially for married people to enjoy discreet affairs. They find themselves separately drawn to this app. I really enjoyed the writing style of this book reminded me of earlier Marian Keyes. I found myself really thinking about the choices the characters were making and how I would feel in the same situation. This book is out in Feb 2023 and I would highly recommend for an easy read with some difficult topics discussed throughout. 5 stars from me.
This is an incredible read. It is well written with a compelling story that gripped me and wouldn't let me go, I read this in one sitting, and well developed characters that I loved. I coudln't stop thinking about this book and I am still thinking about it, I loved Colin and Tara both seperately and together. It was heartfelt and funny in equal measure and I loved it,
This was god damn adorable. It was cute and endearing without being sickly sweet. Highly recommend this book for lovers of romance, comedy and how to get out of a rut!
I loved everything about this book!
It’s adorable, touching, emotional and extremely well written. Joseph Murray is a very clever guy and an author that I’ll be watching out for in future. I can’t wait to read his next book already.
I loved the humour and it kept me wanting to go back to it. It screams to be made into a tv programme. A fab book and a true 5 star read.
I absolutely adored this book! It had me hooked from the first chapter. This book was well written and covered some sensitive subjects very well! The humour was brilliant and definitely lightened the storyline up and made me want to keep reading.
ve just spent about two days with Tara and Colin. They are happily married, live in a posh part of Dublin, and both have great jobs. Everything is perfect, except, they can't conceive. Tara wants to accept the inevitable, Colin wants to explore every avenue. As communication between them breaks down, and with both of them seeing flaws in their relationship, they turn to the infidelity app, 'Fling'....full of Irish wit and charm...'You know, men should be really grateful that Women want equality and not revenge!'...This is a brilliant, and funny, modern tale of love. The characters are so funny that they had me laughing out loud. A proper page turner of a book, with creative characters. A fast paced read that I couldn't put down!
A charming easy read with an interesting concept … Tara & Colin are struggling after failed IVF attempts, they no longer love the things about each other they fell in love with when they met - after randomly both listening to a radio interview they both download a new app called Fling which actively encourages married parties to cheat and so Tara become Claire and Colin - Jack . What follows is a rom com which I throughly enjoyed and prices that true love always wins in the end
