I would give this book 3.5 stars. It's typical Liana Moriarty, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed her previous books. The title is an on point description of the characters and their reactions around "the event."

I was kinda disappointed by this book. I really liked Big little lies, but this one is not as good. The writing is the same: you know something happened, but you don’t know what. I was still curious, but the fact that it was written the same way disappointed me. Also, the plot was « meh » and I didn’t really like the characters, even though Erika’s mother was an original character. I hope the next book will be better; I will read it even if I didn’t like this one!
4.5 stars. Do not read this book unless you are prepared to devour it in one sitting. I could not put it down. Like many of her other books, in this one, Moriarty begins the novel by telling us something Very Bad has happened, but the big reveal doesn’t come until about 2/3 of the way through the book. The complex cast of characters each brings their own complicity to the Very Bad Thing, and we get to see it through many perspectives. Sure, there are a lot of predictable tropes in this book, but they all make for a really entertaining and enjoyable read.

I really love Moriarty but 200 hundred pages would have been quite enough!
Wederom een ontzettend knap in elkaar vervlochten boek waaraan ik me na 200 pagina's bijna ging ergeren zo graag wilde ik snappen hoe het in elkaar zat!
