What a slog. Truly incredibly boring. Even with the twists.

Last year, there was an incident involving someone I care about that took place at a crowded park. I won't share any other details, as doing so might give away the climax of Liane Moriarty's latest novel. However, I could easily relate to some of the main characters from Truly Madly Guilty as a result.
I had been eagerly anticipating this novel, as it has been two years since Liane's epic roller-coaster read, Big Little Lies, was published. Some of this story has a similar feel, as it goes back ...more

Not my favorite of Moriarty's books, and it definitely helped that I read some reviews that told me that The Thing would not be revealed until halfway through the book. I enjoy a character-driven story and this is definitely that. I think it was just the right number of characters to share the story between, too.
Book Club will definitely have some things to talk about!! ...more
