Truly Madly Guilty

Hmm. I adore Moriarty and her lively characters (especially how she captures children's voices). I have to agree a bit with the NYT review - there is a lot of dramatic buildup about “the day of the bbq” and the event itself is almost a letdown. I think a different structure might have better suited the storyline. Still, it's Liane Moriarty, so it's a great listen.
Update: liked it much better the second time when I knew going into the book that the defining incident is more important for relational, emotional, and psychological reasons.
