I adore Liane's books and love listening to Caroline Lee who reads the audiobooks. Always great plots and characters with plenty of humour. Liane is one of life's great observers.

Read this for a second time and will probably return to it again in future. It's moving and poignant and filled with valuable life lessons.

My first read of 2016 and my book of the year so far. This is Mitch's best work yet and is simply stunning. Wonderful story and I think particularly poignant for musicians. Love, love, love this novel! There's an associated Spotify playlist which is also a delight.

Just when you think it isn't possible, Alex Marwood keeps getting better and better. This is an absolute belter of a book. Characters are so richly drawn and the story untangles at a pace that constantly leaves us needing more. This writer is one to watch.

This is not my usual type of read at all but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is fascinating and the characters utterly wonderful.

This was a good read and a realistic representation of domestic violence. I didn't see the twist coming and it hit me like a punch in the guts. Great debut.

Read this because everyone was raving about it and I wasn't disappointed. The story is engaging, if difficult to read in places due to the nature of the story.

First work of Polly Samson's I have read and I enjoyed it very much. An engaging story with many twists and turns, told with such beautiful prose.

Another blinder from Liane Moriarty! Runs the full gamut of emotions and shows real understanding of family relationships.
