Overall the book explores how we keep secrets from our closest friends and family, and the bitter consequences of guilt and shame. Can you ever truly know someone else? What happens when your morality is put to the test, especially when your family is on the line? The plot lives in moral greyness. The characters are human and, imo, not very good people but trying their best, mostly. My one critique is that they could be stunningly ignorant to their own feelings and those around them- so many immature forty-somethings. However this is true to life.

the parents are awful so it's no wonder their children did exactly the same thing as them.

I caught myself imagining what I would do if I was in the character’s places.
This was my first Liane Moriarty book and won’t be my last!!
