"The new novel from Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Husband's Secret, Big Little Lies, and What Alice Forgot, about how sometimes we don't appreciate how extraordinary our ordinary lives are until it's too late. "What a wonderful writer--smart, wise, funny." --Anne Lamott Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One small dog. It's just a normal weekend. What could possibly go wrong? In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty turns her unique, razor-sharp eye towards three seemingly happy families. Sam and Clementine have a wonderful, albeit, busy life: they have two little girls, Sam has just started a new dream job and Clementine, a cellist, is busy preparing for the audition of a lifetime.

A bit templated

This one seemed formulaic, especially compared to The Husband's Secret. It came after, which makes sense. Seemed like it was templated like the last one, but less interesting because the plot device of the memory loss and the split time story telling was kind of boring / artificial. Still, nice character depictions and understanding people's internal dramas, but ultimately, felt cookie cutter.

Review of 'Truly madly guilty' on 'Goodreads'

Liane Moriarty has a very charming writing style, which is why this is 3 stars. Otherwise, I found this book dull and it dragged way too much. It was a frustrating read and they pay off wasn't worth the wait

Review of 'Truly madly guilty' on 'Goodreads'

So terrible I couldn't make it past the first 100 pages. Moriarty's attempt at being coy and secretive made me impatient with her. A shame, because the rest of her books are usually fun beach reads. I felt bad for abandoning it, but was validated by the few people at my book club who actually finished and were pissed. The pay-off, it seems, wasn't worth the hassle.
