'utterly original, emotionally astute and funny’ FLING is published today by Pan Macmillan
Joseph Murray’s
Having an affair might not always mean being unfaithful . . .
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 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 of a fateful – and faithful – affair to remind us all that sometimes, what you’re looking for might just be closer than you think.
Praise for Fling

“Set to be the funniest book of 2023, 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”
