Seg. Tennis. Suck. För många sidohistorier. För mycket dåtid, ingenting om nutid och om va som faktiskt HÄNDER, knappt nån handling. 
Så kom försvunna mamman bara hem igen, jahopp.


Positivt var hur endel vardagsbeskymmer beskrevs, så att man kunde känna igen sig i saker man trodde man va lite "ensam" om. Fint. Några kloka visdomsord. Fånga dagen. Typ. 

Intressant att han gick iväg för att inte slå. Men knäppt att han aldrig förklarade varför eller var han var. Oacceptabelt o skumt. 

Ja... Lite segt... [BK STAN] 

I listened to the entire 18 hour audiobook. Thankfully it was a library loan and not purchased.

It took way too long to get to know these characters with countless tennis references that began to get annoying. I thought this was a mystery about a missing mom but the story goes It circles so many times that I wondered what exactly it was about.

I kept on thinking it would all come together with an explosive ending! I didn't need the mom to be dead, I just needed something shocking and memorable to happen. Instead, we got an anticlimactic resolution with a reasoning that made me think "yeah, I guess the authors rambling did set this up to be plausable." But it was a bore.

I loved this until they brought covid up

A good mix of mystery and family fiction; definitely kept me reading until the end and trying to solve the mystery. I enjoyed it, not unlike other Liane Moriarty books I've read.

Really enjoyed! Very clever
