Meh. Forgettable. I enjoyed this at times but overall just thought it could be better. The ending was thumbs down.

Tätä kuvaa ehkä parhaiten "ihan ok". Tässä oli aineksia monenlaiseen, ja henkilöiden kuvaus oli syvällistä ja realistista. Valitettavasti kaikki hahmot eivät vain olleet kovin kiinnostavia. Se on ikävää teoksessa, joka perustuu hahmoihin eikä niinkään juoneen (joka oli aika hutera). Jännitystä pidettiin keinotekoisesti yllä turhilla cliffhangereilla puoleen väliin asti, kunnes viimein selvisi, mistä koko alkupuoli kirjassa oli kohkattu. Tapahtuma ei lopulta ollut varsinaisesti yllätys kaikkien väärien hälytysten jälkeen. Myöskään toinen avautuva palanen ei tullut yllätyksenä eikä siksi herättänyt niitä tunteita, joita paljastuksella haettiin takaa. Hamstraus oli kiinnostava sivuteema. Tiivistämällä voisi olla tehokkaampi, sillä tällaisenaan oli turhan hidas, mikä vähensi tarinan imua.
Liane Moriarty is one of my favorite authors! This book had twists and turns that I did not expect. It also left the reader continually questioning, "What would I do if this were happening to me?"

Here's a recipe for a Liane Moriarty novel:
1) Start with complex and complicated female relationships
2) Mix with personal tragedy
3) Sprinkle in witty banter
4) Bake in suspense around a core, mysterious plot point
5) Cook until the mystery is revealed and relationships heal
Note: Mix in men and traumatic childhoods to taste.
Formulaic as her books may be, I find her characters and relationships extremely relatable. Listening to these as audiobooks is a pleasure.
