Truly Madly Guilty
by Liane Moriarty
I typically enjoy Liane Moriarty's books, and Truly Madly Guilty was no exception (sort of). I was constantly racking my brain and reading between the lines to try to uncover the mysteries of this novel. Like all of Moriarty's books, this is a relatively easy read and the transitions between perspectives are smooth. The characters were interesting and I appreciated the honesty and authenticity they displayed when considering their guilt.
However, the story was slow and I half expected myself to throw the book across the room with each frustrating mention of "the barbecue". The plot twist was not what I expected and frankly, it was boring and anticlimactic. It also seemed as though Moriarty threw in some PG-rated sexual themes to appease readers who were undoubtedly becoming disinterested towards the end.
All in all, the plot was weak and dull, redeemed only by the general pleasure of Moriarty's writing and the themes she touches on.
When to Read - If you don’t mind a slow but easy read.
