Trade ReviewThe Fake-Up is
everything I want from a rom com. It's
warm, funny and whip smart. I feel like I know all the characters, they just leap off the page.
I couldn't put it down -- Laura Kay, author of THE SPLIT
Justin Myers has done it again -
a brilliantly funny reimagining of the romcom, full of helter-skelter twists -- Adam Kay, author of THIS IS GOING TO HURT
Fresh, funny and full of twists and turns * Daily Mail *
A
mischievous romantic comedy that doubles as a satire of influencers, modern media and phonies . . .
It's got heart and bite: Myers uses his razor keen eye for observation, dialogue and character to the wittiest effect * Evening Standard *
The Fake-Up is laced with the author's signature wit and wisdom, and is another absolute banger.
Myers is the master of the comic metaphor, the mistress of the modern romcom - and nobody does pop culture better! -- Matt Cain, author of THE SECRET LIFE OF ALBERT ENTWISTLE
Insightful and
deliciously funny * Daily Express *
In Flo and Dylan, Justin
Myers has created two utterly loveable characters you'll really root for. Cheeky, fun and uplifting,
The Fake-Up is just what the world needs right now! -- Laura Price, author of SINGLE BALD FEMALE
A quirky, off-beat rom-com
from the master of the one-liner * Best *
Witty, original and sharply observed -
The Fake-Up is
an utterly modern rom-com. I loved it -- Phoebe Luckhurst, author of The Lock In
Riotously funny and ridiculously clever. Justin somehow manages to make you
snort with laughter and move you to tears within a few pages - I don't know how he does it. It's
a brilliant story and compelling AF.
The Fake-Up absolutely cements Justin as
one of my fave writers -- Lucy Vine, author of HOT MESS
Adored it. So
bitingly funny, brilliantly observed and full of beautifully believable characters - everything you'd expect from Justin Myers. Just
a really very good time -- Lauren Bravo, author of WHAT WOULD THE SPICE GIRLS DO?
