what i liked the most was that all of the people were just so very relatable. even the people that aren‘t similar to me as a person, one reads what Liane Moriarty writes about their thoughts, feelings, impressions, etc etc and one can imagine it so well. it was almost like I knew the people in real life.
one thing I always stumbled over was what i marked as fatphobia in the TW‘s. one character used to be fat and became slim and beautiful and the whole thing set one of the characters‘ storyline into motion. The way the ex-obesity of that one character was sometimes talked about was pretty harsh. the whole thing is more complex, though, and it‘s difficult to explain.
Moderate: Fatphobia, Vomit, and Death

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!!
