3.5 stars but rounded down - I'm sorry but I couldn't help compare to this to The Husband's Secret. That book FLOORED me. The ending was jaw-dropping. I kept hoping for the same thing throughout this book but it just never happened. I was able to predict every mystery that was brought up, long before the end. I LOVED these characters, despite not being able to directly relate to any of their issues or experiences, and actually wished I could stick with them a bit longer. They definitely made this book worthwhile for me. There was really no action until the end, and even then I wasn't surprised or on the edge of my seat. The very end was also pretty disappointing (again, sorry - in comparison to The Husband's Secret). Overall I don't regret this book, but I wish more happened. I wish it was able to shock me. Solid writing as usual from Liane Moriarty, though!
