Fallon, a frequent tweeter who shares Gervais' raucous sense of humor, is a best-selling British author. According to her Twitter account, her "chick lit" genre novels are all in the top ten bestsellers (holla) and it looks like I will totally devour these books - regardless of the author's fame. Like her most recent novel, A Strictly Between Us , this one sounds totally right up my alley from the Amazon description:
Tamsin and her best friend Michelle have been inseparable since they were teenagers. Even now, they spend all their time with Michelle's handsome husband Patrick.
So when Tamsin heard rumors that Patrick was having an affair, she was furious. Unwilling to ignore this, Tamsin hatches a plan to catch Patrick red-handed, using her assistant Bea as live bait. This should be foolproof.
After all, Tamsin could trust Bea with anything. From ordering coffee every day to picking up dry cleaning, writing reports and all the filing, Bea does everything with a smile.
But Tamsin never considered that Biya might have her own agenda.
If she does, then Tamsin really needs to watch her back...

Before she became a best-selling author, Fallon, 54, also found great success as a producer, working on EastEnders (a popular long-running British soap opera she worked on for nearly a decade) and Teachers 》 and other programs. Of course, that's according to Fallon's IMDb, which unfortunately doesn't include things like her hilarious sense of humor. But luckily, that's what Twitter is for, so I show you the following:
In case you haven't noticed, Fallon and Gervais do things exactly their own way. This means, no, they will not get married, and no, they will not have children - both decisions they are 100 percent in agreement with.
"I remember steeling myself and trying to imagine what I would do if he changed his mind," she recalled to Marie Claire of her last discussion with Gervais about the idea of having children. "I was so convinced of my decision (not to do it) that I couldn't even imagine the alternative. It turned out he had the same anxiety about me. It was a relief and a celebration. "
Ah, a couple who agrees on big issues: sounds like a perfect match to me.
