Truly Madly Guilty by Liane MoriartyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a very difficult book to read as it seemed to carry needlessly. The beginning of the book catches your interest and provides a mysterious secret yet to be revealed. It was the only thing that kept me reading this novel. The story unfolds on an alternate time line, going from present to past and viewed from several characters. This technique works well with some novels but in this case it just added to the confusion. Painfully, the story drags on until about half way through the book when the "secret" is finally revealed. Not to dismiss the gravity of the "secret" but it hardly warranted the build up it received. I'm left wondering what the theme or lesson could be learned from this book. I guess on a stretch I would say there was an attempt describe friendships that span over lifetimes. How individual choices have impact on the nourishment or stagnation of the connection.
