Truly Madly Guilty follows the classic Liane Moriarty formula, and that is in no way a bad thing. A Big Event happens. We aren’t told what it is. It happens at a normal, mundane gathering (a backyard BBQ) but it is a huge deal. A few married couples (Tiffany and Vid, Clementine and Sam, Erika and Oliver) are dealing with the fallout from the Big Event in various ways. At first you think you may not be able to keep that many people straight, but […]
Truly Madly Wonderful
The latter half of July is an absolute insane time for me at work, 10-12 hour days usually without a lunch break, and by the time I get home I’m too bleary eyed to read. Luckily, work began to let up right around the time Liane Moriarty released her latest novel. I read all of Moriarty’s novels last year so this was the first time I had to wait for the author to write something new and the year wait was quite painful (it’s probably a […]
One Hell of a BBQ
I think Good Reads is a great site for many reasons; one of which is that it lets me know when authors I have read (and enjoyed) are releasing a new book. I purchased Ms. Moriarty’s latest tome (seriously, it’s over 400 pages and has pretty small print) on Tuesday after receiving such an alert, started it Wednesday, and stayed up way too late finishing it last night. Badkittyuno’s review provides the plot detail, so I won’t go into that too much. I enjoy Ms. […]
A Moriarty masterpiece
So I’ve read a lot of Liane Moriarty books. In fact, I’ve read all the Liane Moriarty books. And here’s how they go: there’s a group of people (women, or women and their husbands), something happens prior to the beginning of the novel, we don’t really know what that thing was, but it’s affecting everyone in different ways. Moriarty will spend the course of the novel dropping little hints, until the big explosive reveal (which is always something I thought I had figured out but never actually do), after which […]
It was okay? That’s all I got.
This was the other half of my Liane Moriarty pickup from the audible 2 for 1 sale. As previously stated I have quite enjoyed Ms. Moriarty’s later works so I was happy to delve into her back catalogue. This time we have the story of the Kettle triplets: Lynn, Kat, and Gemma. Their lives are completely intertwined. We learn at the start that by the end of the story one sister is pregnant, and another is crazy enough to throw a fondue fork at her. […]
Australian mysteries that weren’t all that mysterious
Last year I delved into the library of Liane Moriarty. Big Little Lies was fantastic and The Husband’s Secret was solid. I never could finish The Hypnotist’s Love Story so her books kind of fell to the back burner. Enter a 2 for 1 audible sale, and a lot of menial work tasks that are best done with headphones. The Last Anniversary is the story of Scribbly Gum Island and its residents. There’s Sophie Honeywell who takes up residence after being mysteriously left “Aunt” Connie’s […]
