This novel by Liane Moriarty was a good way to start 2017 and was my second foray into an interestingly structured Moriarty tale. In Big Little Lies, the first novel of hers I read, the story circles around a death, the details which are not revealed until almost the end. Similarly, the events of Truly Madly Guilty swirl around something catastrophic that happens at an afternoon barbeque, but what that event involves exactly takes most of the story to get to. However, in both cases, […]
We All Think We’re Stronger Than Our Troubles
Cannonballers love Liane Moriarty, and they really love Big Little Lies. I could no longer hold out against the deluge of positive reviews and the upcoming HBO series produced by Reese Witherspoon who has a history of putting her money behind female driven projects. Hot take: It is quite good, but I was able to call all the big twists save one. Read it before the HBO series arrives in late February if you want to be a smug book reader. More in depth review […]
All conflict can be traced back to someone’s feelings getting hurt
Okay, I’m late to the party on this one, but I just discovered that the upcoming mini-series is based on this book which I hadn’t heard of previously. I realize that many of you here have read this already, so it’s not a new thing for you but I’ll leave my two cents worth anyway! On the surface, it sounded like the typical book about a trio of friends and their lives in a small community; everyone knows everyone else, gossip is rampant and someone […]
Stilettos, gossip, and a touch of murder
Okay, guys. I’m going to tell you the biggest secret I’ve discovered so far for 2017…It will get you reading more books, faster than ever. Read on if you want your mind blown…it’s…audiobooks. Okay, so maybe I’m a late bloomer on this one. But for real, y’all, this is a game changer. Just like cell phones, Myspace, Facebook, insert-anything-technological-here-that-I-discovered-years-after-everyone-else was. But hey! I just used a gif. Besides the few audiobooks I’ve heard on road trips, this was my first non-vacational audio book for my […]
Don’t you forget about me
I’ve been meaning to read some Liane Moriarty for the longest time. Everyone said they were unputdownable books about suburban drama and they weren’t wrong. What Alice Forgot was completely addictive reading and just what I needed. Moriarty tackles hard topics in an easy to digest way. The premise is a bit far-fetched but works once you just buy into it. Alice Love hits her head in the gym one day and wakes up thinking it’s a decade earlier. At 40, she’s a completely different […]
Just tell me what happened already!
I think this is my fourth book by Liane Moriarty. I started with Big Little Lies, which I loved. It was one of my favorite books of the year. I was really looking forward to readingTruly Madly Guilty (2016), and I was very excited when I was finally able to get my hands on a copy. There were many things that I really liked about this book: I continue to be impressed with Moriarty’s characters and lives. However, her concept was frustrating and is beginning to […]
