Can someone please tell me what happened at the darn BBQ? I honestly can't stand another chapter to find out. This book didn't do it for me.

I got it to listen to on my long drive to work every day, and I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. The reader is just awful. Every time she says "the day of the barbecue" I want to punch someone! I am done with this.(less)

Did anyone notice that the true, the only, hero of this book is the neighbor Harry? And Harry's backstory is heartbreaking. Why would not a single one of the six adult neighbors care enough to read a few newpapers, ask a few questions, to understand Harry, the ONLY character who seemed at all interested in the safety of the children? I think Harry is the key to the entire book. The bad guy is really the good guy.

Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One small dog. It’s just a normal weekend. What could possibly go wrong?

Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One small dog. It’s just a normal weekend. What could possibly go wrong?

In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty turns her unique, razor-sharp eye towards three seemingly happy families.

Sam and Clementine have a wonderful, albeit, busy life: they have two little girls, Sam has just started a new dream job, and Clementine, a cellist, is busy preparing for the audition of a lifetime. If there’s anything they can count on, it’s each other.

Clementine and Erika are each other’s oldest friends. A single look between them can convey an entire conversation. But theirs is a complicated relationship, so when Erika mentions a last minute invitation to a barbecue with her neighbors, Tiffany and Vid, Clementine and Sam don’t hesitate. Having Tiffany and Vid’s larger than life personalities there will be a welcome respite.

Two months later, it won’t stop raining, and Clementine and Sam can’t stop asking themselves the question: What if we hadn’t gone?

In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty takes on the foundations of our lives: marriage, sex, parenthood, and friendship. She shows how guilt can expose the fault lines in the most seemingly strong relationships, how what we don’t say can be more powerful than what we do, and how sometimes it is the most innocent of moments that can do the greatest harm.(less)

Can anyone recommend a good book by this author? I selected this as a "red hot read" from the local library and it's not even lukewarm. I need to read something else to get an idea of this author. Maybe The Husband's Secret?
