Nov 07, 2016 Emily May Rated it: it was ok Shelves: chick-lit, arc, 2016 Maybe I'm just spoiled by domestic thriller authors like Gillian Flynn and Megan Abbott, maybe I want all the wrong things from Moriarty, but whatever the reason, her books never pull me in. This is the third of her books that I've tried and once again I’m overcome by the slowness, the lack of pull… the sheer dullness of the characters.

This is the third of her books that I've tried and once again I’m overcome by the slowness, the lack of pull… the sheer dullness of the characters. Perhaps I do expect the wrong things, but I don't think that's completely my fault. I'm starting to realize that Moriarty's novels are given titles and descriptions that make them sound so much more dramatic and mysterious than they really are. The Husband's Secret, Big Little Lies, Truly Madly Guilty - secrets, lies and guilt, you say? Bring it on! Except her stories rarely venture outside of middle class soirées. The secrets are anticlimactic, leaving a "meh" sensation in their wake. I'm almost always left thinking “seriously, is that it?" I have to give credit where it's due - Moriarty seems in tune with human nature. She knows her characters well and they feel convincing. It was easy to imagine them as real people. But Truly Madly Guilty lacks some grit; some drama. It opens being deliberately coy about the events of a barbecue that took place several months previously. Clearly something important happened between Erika and Clementine's families, but the snoozeworthy-pacing, as the novel jumps between the day of the barbecue and the present, killed off most of my curiosity. Which, as it turned out, was just as well, because the answers are disappointing and the ending feels too neat. I'm sorry. I genuinely want to get on the Moriarty fanwagon, but I think it's time I admit her style is not one that draws me in, even if her titles and premises do. There are very few authors that can infuse everyday, mundane activities with tension (Megan Abbott, for one) but Liane Moriarty, for me, is not one of them. I feel like I’m reading a flier advertising dish soap. Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube | Store 589 likes 126 comments

Out o Silvia wrote: "I love Liane Moriarty, but to me her books are chick lit. I'm always baffled when I see them advertised as thrillers." Thrillers?! Out of curiosity, what try do you live in? I've only seen them as "commercial fiction" or "women's fiction" (ugh) or very rarely "chic lit". (Although maybe I just have never looked under "thriller" to see her work there). I love her books but I would be *very* disappointed if I'd been expecting a thriller.
