Usually her characters are flawed but likeable. There were no characters that I wanted to spend time with.
I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley.
I've heard so many positive reviews about Liane Moriarty's previous two books, but haven't picked one up. The style of revealing tidbits of information through different times and perspectives intrigued me, but I found it slow and sometimes didn't realise we were back in the present day until several paragraphs in.
I enjoyed getting to the detail of what happened, and the personal fighting desire to skip to the 'day of the barbecue' chapter instead of reading it as it was meant to be read, I thought the story was compelling & interesting but not unputdownable.

I loved it. I don't know why everyone thought it was lame! It wasn't as good as What Alice Forgot (bc duh) or even Big Little Lies, but I thought it was good! It's always fun to peak behind the scenes of regular ordinary people. Four stars.

The climax was not worth the buildup and length of this book. I also now never want to hear the word "barbecue" again in my life.

The audiobook narrator is truly fantastic. This book is told from many points of views, but at no time was I unsure whose voice we were in. She did a marvelous job.
The story itself--a mishap at a neighborly barbecue and the consequences of it--was engaging, an Moriarty doles out information at a pace that keeps us in suspense, yet doesn't feel prolonged. The ending was entirely satisfying and I definitely enjoyed this one.
