Synopsis
When career slacker Eddie Corrigan is asked to step up to the plate and be the best man at his friend's wedding, he knows he should feel honoured like any normal person. But therein lies the glitch: Eddie is not a normal person, and so begins Operation Understudy - Eddie's plan to shirk responsibility at all costs.
Living in a dead-end town in the English Midlands and staring down the barrel of the big Three-O, Eddie feels he's somewhat missed the boat in life. Truth be told, he never even bought a ticket. But after a chance encounter in a pub with the beautiful and complex Marla Dimitri, life starts to get a whole lot more interesting for him.
After a one-off night of all-strings-attached sex, Eddie finds himself embroiled with Marla in a tangled web of family deception. Eddie just doesn't have time for tangled webs of family deception; the wedding is drawing closer, and his responsibilities remain firmly unshirked!
But along the way, he finds himself strangely drawn to this woman and finds solace in her company, learning to come to terms with the death of his mother and the gap the tragedy has left within his own family ever since.BEST MAN FALLING is a raucous, knock-about comedy of embarrassment, set amid the Anglo-Irish community of Northampton. But it is also a story of redemption, of a man overcoming the dark obstacles of his past and discovering that, sometimes in life, you just have to let go before you can get a grip!

“WONDERFUL! Easy reading, interesting, funny, real, modern, well written. A story people will relate to and laugh at themselves. A book and a movie for sure! I haven't enjoyed reading this much in a while.”
