I loved this book! But I am a psychologist, and I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone I thought might have serious suicidal ideation, due to discussions around methods.

I started this book with high hopes as I really enjoyed the first few chapters, as the book went on it started to feel really slow and repetitive! It had great characters, and the story was good, but it could have wrapped up a whole lot quicker.

I found the ending was nice but it felt like it jumped from being a slow read to the ending being opposite to what had happened in the last few chapters.

This was the second book I have read from Liane Moriarty; my first read was Apples Never Fall which I really enjoyed...but I remember feeling ripped off by the ending so this may just be her style of storytelling.
