Year 2, week 44: Truly Madly Guilty

This week's book:
Truly Madly Guilty
By Liane Moriarty

This is, I have no idea what number of Liane Moriarty's books that I have read. She has written a wide variety of different novels, and they never have the same feel. I listened/read this at same time as Moriarty's first novel, "Three Wishes", so that review will be coming soon as well. The library I get audio books on my phone from gave me access to both books at the same time even though I had reserved them at totally different times. 

Truly Madly Guilty was pretty darn good when I finally found out about the big piece of drama the whole book revolves around. The story is about three couples and their children at a barbecue, when something traumatic happens. In true Moriarty fashion, the chapters jump around from character to character, and also jumps to different times and places.

I wouldn't say it was better then Big Little Lies which is the best selling of her books, with its own hit HBO series (season two just started a few weeks ago), but this book is probably my second favorite of her novels I have read so far. I would recommend it, with the asterisk that if you are a mom with young crazy children, just keep calm with some of the plot points.
