Sirens are wailing. People are screaming. The principal is mortified. And one parent is dead. Was it a murder, a tragic accident or just good parents gone bad? As the parents at Pirriwee Public are about to discover, sometimes it's the little lies that turn out to be the most lethal.

They could so easily have said no. But she and her husband, Sam, said yes, and now they can never change what they did and didn't do that beautiful winter's day.

"I'll tell you something, something important. Love is a decision. Not a feeling. That's what you young people don't realise. That's why you're always off divorcing each other. No offence, dear." So decrees the formidable Connie Thrum of Scribbly Gum Island. She is the chief decision-maker of a rather unconventional family and her word is law. It's been over seventy years since Connie and her sister Rose visited their neighbours and found the kettle boiling and a baby waking for her feed, but no sign of her parents.

Their raucous, champagne-soaked birthday dinner has come to an abrupt end following a violent argument and an emergency dash to the hospital. So who started it this time? Was it angry, hurt Cat, still recovering from the 'night of the spaghetti'? Was it Lyn, so serenely successful, at least on the outside? Or was it quirky, dreamy Gemma, the sister who can't keep a secret except for the most important one of all?

Narrator is awful
I couldn't get passed chapter 2 because the narrator's approach is so grating. It sounds like she's reading to a room full of 5 year olds. Suggest you listen to the sample first to see if you can handle it. Such a shame it's like to be a great book!

Good story pity about the narration.
Caroline Lee’s narration is very irritating . I think her interpretation of the dialogue and her narration make all the characters sound like they are aggressive16 years olds. Eg. The inflections at the end of sentences which make them sound like questions and the shrill tones I find hard to listen to which is a shame. I don’t like or agree with her interpretation of some of the characters in the way she portrays them through her narration. I like Moriartys stories but I don’t think I’ll be listening to any more.

Disappointing
The book starts with promise - interesting characters and lots of comic moments. But the plot twist was silly and ultimately became very boring. By the 60th chapter I just wanted it to be over. I also listened to a 1.25x speed due to very slow narration.

It’s unfortunate such interesting characters were wasted on such a preposterous plot
I’m frustrated that I put in the hours committing to the lives of these characters only to have the story drive itself into a ridiculous plot.
So much of the novel is wasted on the transformations.

Extraordinary experience reading this book
Although it often takes me a few chapters to settle into each new book (and this was no exception), this novel took me to very unexpected places. A mixture of funny, shocking, tender, very sad, thought provoking, gratifying, heart-warming, heart-breaking, complex-yet-simple, laugh out loud stuff, tongue-in-cheek, deadly serious and just totally brilliantly put together writing. I have loved all your books, Liane, and it’s hard to compare, but I think this may have been your best to date. Of course, you may never read your reviews ;-).
I loved all the characters. They were so real and engaging. And I loved that we were given such beautiful snapshots of the future of the key characters. Sooooo satisfying!!
I feel as though I’ve just spent some time in a life-changing health spa, and met s few new friends along the way. Which is brilliant since I’m on stress leave, and this has been an interesting factor in my own journey to recovery.
Top marks to Liane, and to Caroline too. You bring Lianes books to life for us listeners. Faultless expression, very effective pauses, inflections and accents.
Brilliant book. There are parts that might be very difficult if you have experienced similar issues in your family (no spoilers because I don’t think it’s necessary). But stay on the journey. You may well feel that some new insights are available. They were for me.

Phoned it in.
I've listened to all Liane Moriarty's books and would encourage everyone to look for them. Not this one. Leave this alone. It's tedious. Too much sitting in one room together going on and on. I think she was under pressure to produce something new for Hollywood. It's a shame, her books are usually so reliable. I've given a reasonable rating to Caroline Lee because although she's not to my taste, she's always competent. I know people love her but I always feel I'm being read to by a 12 year old child.

Another great book by Liane Moriarty
Fabulous read, gripping from the start. Took me on a journey from dying to immediately book a health retreat to vouching to never try it in my life. A great insight into people’s psychology, as always. However, whilst I find Liane’s books appealing in how they are usually so true to life, so realistic, I thought the plot went out of these boundaries this time. I understand Nicole Kidman is involved in making a movie based on the book. It reads a bit like a movie. The twist of the plot took over the contents which I usually enjoy much more. Still an excellent book, fabulous research and many hours of fun.

Insightful look at things that weigh people down
I was so excited to see Liane Moriarty's new book was available on Audible and Caroline Lee was narrating. I love the work of both these ladies and find Caroline Lee so easy to listen to. Liane's story delves into the personalities of more than the 9 core people. It gives insight into how the troubles of every day life play so hard on people's psyche that they are willing to accept anything to make a change to the way they are living. I found Liane addressed the issue of suicide so well by examining the far reaching effects it has on the related characters in this story. The idea of being transformed was made even more interesting by Liane incorporating some rather interesting techniques into the story.
I could not stop listening to this book it was so good. I laughed and at times cried with the highly believable characters and a really funny story line. I rate this as one of Liane's best! Highly recommended.

A slow, boring predictable book
I was so disappointed by this book. Whilst I didn’t expect a fascinating piece of fiction by Moriarty, but rather just a light read, I was surprised by the mediocrity of this book. As a friend stated when discussing the book, it is as though Moriarty has just quickly pumped out a book to meet a deadline with little thought on the characters, limited plot development and no creativity. I don’t usually persevere through a book which I dislike so much but kept hoping that the story would develop. It did not.
