![]() ![]() But this one was three and a half stars, not the usual five. Almost as if someone else had written it and then handed it back to the real author. But the beginning was unforgivably unedited. When the story FINALLY gets going (you still don't know what happened at the bar-b-q, but enough of the characters' past and motivations is revealed so that they're finally interesting), the novel IS great. How is it possible that anything by Liane Moriarty could be awful? But the beginning of this novel truly is: boring and tedious (the characters and the plot), with everyone alluding to something awful that happened at a mysterious bar-b-q but which is not revealed. from the publisher's description From the bestselling author of Big Little Lies, now a gripping HBO series, comes Liane Moriarty's new novel Truly Madly Guilty. Truly Madly Guilty is really better that a "three star" book but not quite a four mainly because the first part is AWFUL. Voted by Amazon reviewers as a 4 STAR read Truly, Madly, Guilty is a cocktail of friendship and modern love spiked with a little deception. This is one of those books that makes me wish that it was possible to review with half stars. ![]()
