Upside Down, Inside Out by Monica McInerney (Fiction)

Eva, unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend, travels to Australia to visit her oldest friend. There, she and Lainey come up with a different life and identity and she is introduced as famous Irish sculptor and singer Niamph. She meets and falls in love with Joseph, who is also not telling telling the whole truth about his life. Will they ever confess the truth about their lives to each other? Will they forgive each other for the lies that have been told? Do fish swim?

OK, that might be a little bit sarcastic, I'll admit. I liked the characters and the Australian setting but must admit that the "drama" of when Eva would tell Joseph the truth got to be a little bit too drawn out. I found that I didn't really care too much after awhile! Still, it was a fun read.
