The Truth about Faking it

Reviewed by Helen
This is a great story, I do enjoy a story that makes me laugh and smile and a story about strong women and this one has it all, I loved getting to know the three Trainor woman, grandmother Ellen, daughter Natasha and granddaughter Georgie, the emotions flow on the pages as they come to terms with what is happening in their lives.
Ellen has been married to journalist David for fifty years she is used to him leaving for stories but once retired he goes on a sailing trip to help a long lost brother and when he is killed in Thailand in a boating accident, Ellen is left to sort out her life and that for her is getting on with it Zumba, bridge and a new man, Kenneth who may be a bit boring but he is there not like David.
Natasha is smart and a presenter on a popular current affairs show the public love her but they have a new producer and things are not going as normally as they would and when she is asked to do an interview with a young girl this interview opens up memories that Tashie has had stored deep in a corner of her mind for many years, then with the death of her father and things turning bad at work Tashie’s life is being turned upside down nothing seems to as it should.
Georgie works on reality TV, The Single Guy/Gal and loves her job getting to know the contestants and keeping to herself, is this the right job for Georgie seeing as how she doesn’t believe in love after what has happened to her Mum and Grandmother but something is happening when Georgie gets close to one of the contestants can she deny her feelings or will she go with them.
Learning of David’s death sets these three woman into different thoughts and a determination form Tashie to find out what happened they all have different feelings on how to go forward, one thing that does happen is all three woman find that they have feelings that they have kept from each other and themselves and now is the time to be honest and open.
This is a fabulous story that I would highly recommend, it had me turning the pages, laughing especially with Ellen she is a fabulous woman, I loved her and Tashie, strong but vulnerable in so many ways and Georgie has she found the love she deserves, you must read this one, I do highly recommend it.
