"Did one act define who you were forever?"
"‘A son is a son until he takes him a wife; a daughter is a daughter for all of her life."
"Falling in love was easy. Anyone could fall. It was holding on that was tricky."

I wanted to love it as I loved Big Little Lies so much. But I just couldn't deal with Janie's mother anymore. She was so irritating. And the ending was absurd.

I figured out the secret near the beginning of the book but thank goodness the story is not just about the revealing of the secret, but rather about how the secret affects all of the main characters. Very well-written book. It seems that Moriarty really spent the time to think about each character and how their part of their story played out. The last chapter of the book was excellent.
