What
is it about this book that pulled you in?
SD ~
I have been a big Liane Moriarty fan since I read THE HUSBAND’S SECRET, by
Liane. After listening (I did listen to
it on audio), I was hooked with her quick wit, funny humor, three-dimensional
characters, and awesome story lines.
Since then I have followed her writing and she does not disappoint!
Is
there a relationship in the story that resonated with you?
SD ~
I love reading about strong independent women, and in this case, the one who
really pulls me in is Jane; the struggling single mom who is trying hard to fit
in and take care of her little boy.
Do
you think her situation was portrayed realistically?
SD ~
I do. The book is based on a pretty
tight knit community in Australia. Jane
is new in town and wants the best for her little boy and is trying to fit in
with the perky PTA-type moms. It’s
always hard to move and make a new beginning, but Jane is trying.
Anything
else you want to tell us about the book without giving away too much of the
plot?
SD ~
Yes! The book starts out with a murder
at Trivia Night, a school fundraiser. It
is a ridiculous way to start a women’s fiction novel, but it sure is
captivating! The book from there
backtracks to months before Trivia Night, bringing three women in the community
into the story chapter by chapter, leading up to the night of the murder. You will find yourself guessing who was
involved…
It is really a delight to read—and incredible for you to
listen to on audio.

ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to give us an insight into another great book, Sheila!
DeleteSure! As you know it is easy when the book is that good :)
ReplyDeleteNow, we just need them to make movies out of her books!
DeleteOh my gosh YES!!!
DeleteI finished this book yesterday, Sheila, and boy, I didn't expect to get tears in my eyes toward the end. Yes, Liane writes with quick wit and humor, but I FELT the point she was making toward the end, and could relate to so many things in this story (mostly Madeline's feelings with her eldest daughter.) Great, great story!
