Thoughts

Another cracking read from Liane Moriarty, stacked with interesting characters and thought-provoking events. The big twist in this one is heart-breaking, and I was very surprised the direction things went in towards the end. But as always, you just can’t help but get invested and be desperate to know what happens next and whether they will end up with a happy ending or not. A great read.

Rating: 3 / 5
