This was a fantastic book – overall, 100% through and through fantastic!
It was funny. It was heart-wrenching. It was thought provoking. So well written that I was intensely invested the entire time. No mind wandering at all! No filler!
The characters . . . oh, the characters . . . so great – all of them! They all have some good, some bad, some ugly, and some beautiful. Lots of tragedy, but lots of humanity and love as well. And, the fact that the main character is dealing with memory loss makes the dynamic between the characters extremely fascinating. Think about what it would be like if you woke up and thought it was 10 years ago? What relationships have changed? Jobs? Family? Pretty mind blowing all the what-ifs!
If you are looking for a great book with a great story about people and life, you must try this book. Your brain will be triggered by all of the what-if scenarios, your heartstrings will be pulled by the love and loss, and your funny bone will be tickled by the witty dialogue – 100% guaranteed!
Side note: For those familiar with my reviews, you may know that I consider it a sign of a good book if I talk back to it and/or long to interact with the characters (often with the desire to smack some sense into them). That was the case with this book – so a very good sign!

I have only tried two of hers so far and enjoyed both. Might need a warning on which ones to avoid if there are some "dogs" out there! :)

I'm so glad! I had a feeling you would like it as it seems we like similar books. I love reading all your reviews. I will buy a book if I know you've rated it highly. Goodreads is the best!! 😁

Can't wait to get started! I really like Liane Moriarty's books :)
