I like Moriarty’s writing style, but this book was just so unnecessarily long. There is so much that could have been cut out to make it a much better read. But I do like the way her characters feel real.

My least favorite of the books I have read by Liane Moriarty. Half the book sets you up for some big event and it merely "poofs" into nothing. Just a boring book. You could easily skip this one.

This was fine- it just took me a bit to get invested. I didn’t find it overwhelming good or bad.

Really it's 3.5 stars. Was slow to get into it, but the story picked up. Not my favorite by Liane Moriarty but still pretty good.

Liane Moriarty's Truly Madly Guilty is a gripping domestic suspense novel that effectively uses multiple perspectives and a non-linear timeline to build tension. The story centers on a single, pivotal event and its fallout, with Moriarty thoughtfully exploring themes of guilt and perception through the eyes of several characters.
While the central mystery's resolution may be predictable, the journey to get there is what truly entertains. The narrative’s strength lies in its interesting characters and their backstories, which kept the plot engaging and the emotional turmoil of the protagonists both authentic and compelling. This book is a testament to Moriarty's skill at blending a captivating mystery with a deeper look into the complexities of human relationships.
