3 stars
Hmm. I was originally going to give this 3.5 stars, but thinking about it, I can’t find enough positives to warrant the extra half star.
This was my first Liane Moriarty novel and while I found it engaging enough, it didn’t blow me away.
It definitely could have done with being shorter - 180 pages in and there were still no clues as to what happened at this mysterious barbecue, only the fall out from it.
I only really liked a handful of the characters, I particularly couldn’t warm up to Clementine for whatever reason. But I did love Oliver and Erika’s relationship.
The twists themselves were good, I think I expected more of a thriller than a family drama - which I guess is my fault for not doing my research before reading.
Decent enough read - but not one I’d go back to I don’t think.

Hope you'll like this one! It's confusing at first but nevertheless, it was a good, thought-provoking book.

Thanks Mel 😊 I’m intrigued so far
I finished this one recently, I loved the characters! She's the Queen of character development!
@Lena: Glad you enjoyed it 😊
So agree Charlotte .... thought this was much a fuss about nothing .... Big little lies was so much better and I think you should give it a try
@Amber: I’ll have to look that one up
Charlotte, thanks for the honest review. I might read it some day.. but lots of better books should be read first!!
@Celia: Absolutely! The best books must be prioritised!
Great honest review, Charlotte!! :)
Great review, Charlotte May! I felt the same way about Clementine as well as Oliver and Erika's relationship.
Thank you Debbie 😊 glad you felt the same.
