I enjoyed reading this--the dialogue is particularly well-written. I don't know how I feel about the ending, which is more poetic than satisfying. I will definitely read this author again, though.

The book was a quick read for me. Owen and Luna’s relationship is said to be the star but there are so many other characters who you fall in and out of love with. And then on top of all of that the author goes back and forth between several time periods quickly while also keeping the reader engaged.
If you like a novel with no plot and boring, that is slowly paced you will love this! I hated this because it's a character study not a thriller novel.
The last part of the book was a bit disappointing and clichéd, but it was nonetheless engaging and well-written throughout.
You know those friends who would help you bury a body? Lisa Lutz brings that friendship dynamic to the page with Luna and Owen.
Luna and Owen have been best friends since college. Fifteen years later, they live in the same neighborhood and Owen’s wife is dead. Instead of calling the police when she finds the body, Luna runs to Owen’s house. Is that peculiar? Does the husband always do it?
Not only is everyone trying to find out who killed Irene, the reader is trying to figure out what happened to Luna and Owen in college? And who really is Luna Grey?
There are plenty of mysteries to unpack, and all of them are delightful.
Lisa Lutz delivers a cast of lovable, witty, flawed characters. The type of characters you want to be friends with. My only complaint is that the book isn’t longer. I want to live in the world Lutz creates.
