I really didn't care for the first half of this book....frustratingly slow. I felt like screaming, "Will you just tell me what happened at the stupid barbecue??!!" I almost gave up, but glad I finished and got the answers. The second half of the book wasn't bad, but the first half could do with 100 or so fewer pages.

I tried to like this book but after reading close to halfway thru, I lost my patience. I ended up skimming the remainder of the book until the last few chapters where the story comes together and events are explained.

I really love Liane Moriarty and this book is right up there with Big Little Lies and What Alice Forgot for me. Moriarty just does her characters and plots so well. I listened to the audio version of this book, read by Caroline Lee, and she is definitely a five star narrator -- probably tied with Bahni Turpin for my personal favorite. Highly recommend the audiobook if you like audiobooks.

3.5 stars I agree with a lot of the "slow burn" story reviews. While I liked this one just a little less then Big Little Lies I still was intrigued by the story itself. One of the few books I brought with me on vacation that I read for a couple hours on the train. I kind of wish I knew more of an ending for the third couple though.

If you're willing to wait for the story to begin almost halfway in, it's a worth a read!
