So glad I finally finished this!
This has been on my currently reading shelf for over a week.
Review to come soon
Took me forever to finish this book.
A supposed-to-be psychological thriller filled with entitled white people.
Slow start, but halfway through the book I was engrossed and couldn't put it down. Fantastic ending as usual, I felt as scared and horrified as each character in the book. Another great novel by Laine Moriarty.
it was a fine book. was listening to it on the last road trip, wouldn't be chancing the sequel or anything.
This book was trash. Liane Moriarty is trash. The next Paula Hawkins..... TRASH. These authors start with such potential in their storylines and character execution and then just throw all that out the window. Liane moriarty's author style is the equivalent to writing a vocabularily rich sentence then getting THE WORST hand cramp on the last few words leaving the structure integrity of the sentence compromised. Good grief.
This book was doing nothing for me. I was so bored and just couldn't trudge through anymore. Bummed because I loved Big Little Lies. Also the fatphobia was horrific.
People are Eff'd up!!! WOW!!
I like the way that most of the book played out, and the characters were introduced. But the end seemed to come in a rush... like someone suddenly remembered they had a deadline and had to wrap it up quick!!
Also, the last chapter was really kind of weird for me. Like an after-thought.
Overall, I liked the book though. The story was good... one that I would never think of! haha
I am angry that this book was as messy and poorly executed as it was and that it made me cry and that those tears were entirely unearned by the writing or characterization. Trite and trying. What a disappointing experience.
