Why I have this book: I borrowed it from the ebook library after enjoying another book of the author's.
Okay, so I really liked this book. Could hardly get my nose out of it. Stayed up late to finish it. Still thinking about it. Can't wait to read the other books of hers that are on hold at the ebook library.
Liane Moriarty is an excellent storyteller and writer. I just wish she would stop using the F-word! Seriously! I don't know anyone who talks like that, and yes, I realize that I live in a pretty religious and conservative place. But still... even if Australia (Ms. Moriarty is Australian) accepts that word, doesn't mean you need to assume we all do. The writing is strong enough on it's own to not have to throw that word in there AT ALL. It's so annoying!
I know that problem would be a deal breaker for a lot of people and they would not read her books because of it. I usually feel that way, too. For some reason, her books draw me in enough that I am choosing to skip over the profanity to enjoy the rest of the story. I do feel a little guilt about that...
This book definitely makes use of profanity. There is also a description of the way a man sexually and verbally assaults a woman. The subject matter also involves domestic violence and a murder investigation.
