What a book! This was so well-told. I didn't expect the two major plot twists, and in between these plot twists I found myself having a love-hate relationship with almost all the characters, which is exactly what you want from a thriller like this.
I will say, the only place this book lost .25 of a star is the fact that I was waiting for Tess's story to somehow be relevant to the central mystery, however it never really became relevant. Which is unusual for a Liane Moriaty book, because usually everything in interwoven. However, I concede that without Tess's plotline, the book would be missing that little extra flourish - it was a really intriguing plot and it had me so frustrated with Will and Felicity. Especially when Felicity dismissed Tess's social anxiety. Although I did manage to empathise with Will and Felicity at times too - just another example of Moriaty's incredible ability to write such real, flawed, human characters.

Ugh! Once I found out what the secret is, I couldn't be bothered reading the rest of this tedious book. I've read a few of her other books which I really enjoyed so I'm really disappointed that this one was so annoying.
I couldn’t put it down! I think I have found a new fave author!
I started this audiobook from the library - unfortunately they only seem to have Dutch audiobooks, I would have preferred the original - and at first was completely disappointed by both the language and the topic. I thought it was completely boring as I listened doing my exercises at the gym. But then I realised the opposite was true. This is a very cleverly written and beautifully told story of lives that interconnect and are changed by split decisions. And then all the unknowns which lead to obvious assumptions. Brilliant! Liane Moriarty, I will be looking for more books by you!
