Commentary As Books Truly Madly Guilty
Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One small dog. It’s just a normal weekend. What could possibly go wrong?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. If there’s anything they can count on, it’s each other.
Clementine and Erika are each other’s oldest friends. A single look between them can convey an entire conversation. But theirs is a complicated relationship, so when Erika mentions a last minute invitation to a barbecue with her neighbors, Tiffany and Vid, Clementine and Sam don’t hesitate. Having Tiffany and Vid’s larger than life personalities there will be a welcome respite.
Two months later, it won’t stop raining, and Clementine and Sam can’t stop asking themselves the question: What if we hadn’t gone?
In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty takes on the foundations of our lives: marriage, sex, parenthood, and friendship. She shows how guilt can expose the fault lines in the most seemingly strong relationships, how what we don’t say can be more powerful than what we do, and how sometimes it is the most innocent of moments that can do the greatest harm.

First off you need to be very patient with this book, something that I am not great at I am afraid so unfortunately this did effect my review. Six adults, three kids and a small dog at a barbeque, sounds like a wonderful afternoon but oh my what can go wrong. What does go wrong takes till well over the half the book to happen, in between we receive back story into the other characters and their lives. I have read other Liane Moriarty's books and thoroughly enjoyed them, this one not so much due4 stars! I enjoyed this book! Liane Moriarty does a great job of grabbing your attention from chapter one. She throws multiple characters' perspectives of an "unknown dramatic event" at you throughout the first half of the book. She pulls the reader along, feeding their curiosity with just enough detail to keep them reading "one more chapter" to find out more. Even when you do find out what the "event" was (at about the halfway point), you need to continue reading to the end of the novel to find
This is the third Liane Moriarty novel I've read in less than a month, and even I'm surprised at how quickly I've become one of her biggest fans.I'm also a bit disappointed in myself that it took me so long to check out her books. They're delightful works of contemporary fiction! I had made some (totally wrong) assumptions that I wouldn't like the books, that I wouldn't relate to them because I had heard it was a lot of motherhood stuff and I'm not a mom, that modern novels were somehow less
Obviously I loved this. I read it all in one day. Her books are so addictivethat's the best word to describe them. The epitome of a page turner.Like I said in my review of Big Little Lies, Moriarty is great at crafting complex characters. The 6 adults, and even the 3 children, in this story or so well developed and interesting. They have flaws and personalities that will make you love them and hate them. It's that complexity that takes this book from 'soap opera'-esque to engaging and
You could jump so much higher when you had somewhere safe to fall.
Another enjoyable read but I found it a little slow getting to what actually happened at the barbecue. I do have to confess though that I was getting a little bit impatient at what transpired at the barbecue so I did read ahead. It didn't really spoil anything for me as I guessed that it had to be something like that. It was a fast and easy read. I really do like this author.
Going into this book I had no expectations. I knew that it had been nominated for best fiction of 2016 on Goodreads (which is why I bought it), but I did not know the author and I did not know much about the story. Having now finished it I'm so thrilled that I stumbled across this novel on Goodreads. Already from the very first pages I could sense that these characters were lively and the descriptions on point. At several points I was amazed at the authors' sense of details and how these details
