I love Moriarty’s writing because her stories are original and clever. This one might be my favorite so far (I’m reading them in order of publication.) Definitely a page turner.

Great book, and a page turner for sure. Intriguing and the ending left you wondering, but in a good way. Not in a way that makes you feel like book is incomplete. I liked how a few characters got to experience both sides of life!

I really enjoyed reading this book. The twists and turns had me guessing. A good book for when you’re on holiday. The epilogue was particularly good.

Have you been missing Desperate Housewives? Then this is the book for you. Brimming with dialogue, interior monologue, and simmering rage, this book has a polarizing ending.

Definitely not one of Moriarty’s better books, but an average read. I had a real hard time with all of the pity-parties the characters seemed to wallow in. Rachel, who just wouldn’t let go of the obsession she had in revenging her…

My favorite part was the epilogue.

Just could not get into it. I was totally bored after two chapters. Probably should have read more but....

Enjoyed this book! The "secret" was a doozie affecting all of the characters in this book one way or the other.

My favorite book of all time in this genre. Great twists and turns and the ending was perfect.

So good, I literally went and found all of her other books to read. Started out a little hard to follow but once all the stories merged together it was so good. I did figure out the ending before it told me but honestly it didn’t even…

Of all these author's novels, this is my all time favourite. A great read!

Decent, if a little too long and wordy in some areas but the twists were good.

This is the second book I have read from this author. The first was Big Little Lies and I loved it, I loved this book too. The characters are likeable and the story is interesting. I like how the characters storylines intertwine too, just…

This is the first book I've read by Liane Moriarty and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I really like how she wove characters' stories around the theme of the Berlin Wall. Very cleverly written and full of suspense! I found it very hard…

My least favorite novel by Moriarty. There were too many ifs and buts, which appeared to turn into excuses, and then a lot of pain and misery because of them.

I got tired of seeing Moriarty's books everywhere and not knowing what all of the love was about, so I started with this one. Greatly enjoyable and readable, and I liked the twists and turns and the brilliant epilogue that tied up what…

I could sympathize with all the characters to an extent, but I felt myself getting frustrated with most of the characters as well as the book continued. I found Rachel the most difficult to relate to as she was so negative towards her…

I wouldn't call this a "light read" in the emotional sense. Characters in this book work through death and grief, infidelity and betrayal, disappointments and bitterness. Moriarty's gift is not making the dark "too dark" or the heavy…

This book was recommended as a "light read" and "entertaining". In some ways it lived up to that description, but in the end I found the characters did not come to life for me and the ending seemed cheap - the author refused to take a…

I enjoyed this book and this was my first by this author. Good story

Initially this book was a little slow for me and I had to push myself to keep going until it got to the interesting part. After that I kept going because the inner dialogues are very entertaining and interesting to say the least. I am…

Started reading this book to find out the "secret". I continued reading to see how the "secret" would impact the other women in this book. I found the ending anti-climactic although I don't know what else would have been a preferred…
