So now that I have read two books by Liane Moriarty, she really wasn't what I was expecting from vague Big Little Lie's fame (which I have not read. It was the Hypnotist's Love Story). More what is going on than thriller. Just proof that media Diffusion just doesn't work.

I went into this book pretty blindly, thinking that Liane Moriarty wrote thrillers or something. I didn't actually read the summary that much. Moriarty is more a general fiction writer and the summary is utter nonsense. Summary are often nonsense, that features one random thing.

This book is told in multiple points of view throughout the books and deals with the lives and motives of most characters that feature in this book, from all walks of life. They all interesting in their ways. The premise was fine,

There was a scene at the end that made me oddly emotional, maybe I just in that state of mind right now, where that probably what I should be doing right now. I was tempted to keep as a nonsensical quote that made me cry, but I listened to it on audiobook and only an hour later I've forgotten it.

The narrator does a good job and it's okay to consume this book.

Ironically, not enough dead bodies for me. Okay, I don't know why this didn't vibe with me that much. I do like reading Contemporary stuff just about people. Maybe I'm just dead inside.
