What to expect

'The freshest, sexiest, funniest and most poignant book I’ve read in a very long time' – Claudia Carroll, author of The Love Algorithm

‘Clever, original, witty and great insight into marriage and the problems that come when communication breaks down’ – Sinead Moriarty, author of About Us

Your next one might be closer than you think . . .


Tara loved Colin at first sight. Colin loved Tara at first fight. That’s when they knew they were meant for each other.

But after six years, their marriage has started to crumble. Unable to recapture the spark they once had, it seems like it’s all over. Until they meet their 100% match on a controversial new dating app – Fling.

At once heartfelt and hilarious, Fling by Joseph Murray is the story to remind us all that sometimes, what you’re looking for might just be closer than you think.

Critics Review

Fling is a lightning-fast romcom full of comic capers, heartfelt moments and completely loveable characters. It's hilarious and original, with a genius concept that is begging for the big screen. One of the best books I've read this year.
Laura Price, author of Single Bald Female
Wow. Just wow. The freshest, sexiest, funniest and most poignant book I’ve read in a very long time. I mean that so sincerely. From page one, I was rooting for both Tara and Colin. I defy any reader not to want to stand and cheer at the end.

Really enjoyed this, amusing but sad in parts. Showing lack of communication at its best, but with a great ending.
