Book Review: Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty
Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty
Summary
IF ONLY THEY’D SAID NO…
What if they hadn’t gone? That’s the question Clementine can’t stop asking herself. It was just a backyard barbeque. They didn’t know their hosts that well. They were friends of friends. They could so easily have said no.
But she and her husband Sam said yes, and now they can never change what they did and didn’t do that beautiful winter’s day.
Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One yapping dog. It’s a normal weekend in the suburbs. What could possibly go wrong?
Once again Liane Moriarty uses her unique, razor-sharp observational skills to sift through the emerging fault lines of seemingly happy families.
It was just an ordinary Sunday afternoon…
Comments
This was a good holiday read for our group. However, while this was an eagerly anticipated read for us having read a few books by this author, we felt that this was not one of her better ones. We found it a little too hard to follow. The writer built the suspense well, but between flipping between 3 different points of view and also between the past and present day, made it at times, too complex. Some of our readers found it hard to sympathise with the main characters and found some sections a little over detailed.
Overall though, as a group, we still found this book an enjoyable read, and we definitely recommend it.
Rating – 7/10
