I found myself skimming a lot of this book. I didn't mind the writer's style, but I need more physical description of the characters. Without that I find it hard to keep track of them, particularly in this case where the POV switches each chapter. I didn't have a good mind's eye image of them to help me remember who they were and found myself having to backtrack to get caught up. I also prefer more fluffy HEA type books and this certainly isn't that.

This was a really great read :) I've only just got back into reading and I wasn't sure I'd find a 5 star read, maybe I'd continue to be a harsh critic, but this was fantastic!
I loved each character in the story and how it switched between their lives quickly meaning it didn't take me long to get back to other stories. It did take me a little while to get my head around all of the characters because there were so many, and who was connected with who, which story was which etc. But I loved that they were all their own story in the beginning and then it all was wrapped up nicely at the end.
I really enjoyed that the mystery was revealed earlier in the book and then it was a case of 'what's going to happen now' or 'what will they do next'.
The epilogue was a beautiful finish to a mixture of great stories about family, friendships, marriage, forgiveness and ultimately secrets! I'm so glad that I've finished this book and can now read more from Moriarty.

The epilogue of this book literally took my breath away. I loved it! Everything about it...the author, Liane Moriarty wrote an excellent story. I have never read anything of hers before, but I am her newest fan. She intertwined so many lives and the story tied in beautifully at the end. This book was full of different characters, but sufficient time was spent on each one. You really got to know these characters. So much of this book affected me on a personal level..it was so good. I highly recommend it. I breezed through it and literally, could not put it down. Perfection!
