This was my first Liane Moriarty book (although I have started watching Nine Perfect Strangers on Hulu) and I really enjoyed it. This was also one of those books that would've been a lot shorter if some of the characters made better decisions. Ah, well... It is also one of those books that makes me think: my family's not that dysfunctional, really.
