Another incredible novel from Liane Moriarty. The delicious kind of writing that makes you go over paragraphs again and again just it let it wash over you. A bit slow to get going but truly unputdownable from the mid-point. And with an earth shattering Epilogue which ties everything up in a melancholy bow.

This was my first Liane Moriarty read, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I found it a slow-medium read but it had me challenging my moral compass at various intervals throughout the read. I found myself really connecting to the characters and trying to put myself in their shoes. The ending left me thinking deeply about life, but in a happy, content way.
