Truly Madly Guilty

So slow.................

Personally it was so easy to connect with all these people, maybe the younger me wouldn't like the novel , but 31 married with two kids, i could relate to a lot of things.
I loved that the drama was realistic rather than exaggerated, also the characters reactions were always making sense and reasonable.
All characters were interesting and had growth throughout the novel
Also i found it realistic that their friendship didn't really work out in the end.
I didn't like Erika much and felt sorry for Oliver he deserved a better partner.
Surprisingly i was glad there was no infidelity.

The last plot where Holly admits pushing Ruby was a little bit predictable for me but i like it anyway.

God it feels weird when you finish a novel that you feel connected with the characters. I felt sad just for finishing it.

The formula is the same. SOMETHING BAD HAS HAPPENED. We don't know what it is until more than halfway through the book. (Around page 237) Then the BAD THING THAT HAPPENED is rehashed from all angles and perspectives and everyone is a-okay. The end.

I LOVE liane moriarty!! However this is my least favorite book of hers. I still had a good time reading it but the book felt a little bit too long and the climax was a little underwhelming. 

It was a good read, but the build up is definitely over the top. I did expect more surprises and twists than there are.

This was my first Liane Moriarty book. I know some people love her and others not so much, so I was really interested to finally read something of hers. I actually really enjoyed this book, I listened to the audio and liked the reader. She is an excellent story teller and I didn’t mind the style of going back and forth in time to build up to the climax. Still, it was pretty dramatic, and I probably won’t read another one of her books right away as I feel like I need some time to recover from this story, but definitely will in the future.

DID NOT FINISH: 11%

I got this to listen to on a 3 hour drive because I'd been listening to one of her other audiobooks and thought this one would be interesting too. It was not. The narrator bugged me! I don't want to be mean, but it was especially bad when she was reading the kids' or annoying barbecue guy's dialogue. I get enough of shrill, loud voices at work all day. I ended up spoiling the big secret for myself, since everything was moving so tediously slowly .

Creo que es el que menos me ha gustado de la escritora australiana, se me ha hecho pesado, los personajes no me han caído bien y la historia me ha parecido bastante meh.
