I don't know why, but this reminded me of J.K. Rowlings Casual Vacancy.

It was a good premise - and had potential. But it didn't draw me in. It took a long time to develop a connection between the story lines...just wasn't what I expected.

When I first read the back of this book, I was really interested in it. But once I started the book, I found it to be very slow and boring. I will say, the first hundred pages make for a very slow start. But then I found myself really invested in the character's stories, all three of them as they intertwined. I didn't know how they were going to connect together but Moriarty weaved the stories together perfectly. By the end, I was very morally confused because I'm not sure I would have made any different decisions than the three leading ladies did. I will definitely be reading more of her books in the future. I never thought I could get so into adult contemporary.

My sister told me that I absolutely had to read this, and I'm glad I finally did. Really enjoyed the many layers-- Liane Moriarty does an excellent job of weaving together multiple storylines in unexpected ways. Each of the characters is a very real mix of engaging and flawed, and I really want to ring one or two of them up and invite myself over for a cup of tea to find out how they've been since the story ended.
