It certainly was an interesting premise and I certainly have enjoyed other books by Liane Moriarty, however, this was just far too long. It could easily have been 200 pages less.

This was a lovely read that I couldn’t put down. Perfect cure for an “I don’t feel like reading anything” day. Not nearly as angsts or miserable as the blurb might make it seem. I liked Alice and enjoyed spending time with her.
Surprised by depth of relational insight in this book. I liked it.
I actually listened to this book and think it added a lot of charm to it. It takes place in Australia and the lady that is reading it, is from New Zealand and hearing the accent really added to the book. I enjoyed the story line and was thankful for a realistic ending.
This gave me a lot to think about and it was so readable. I couldn't put it down.
Excellent, excellent! Another fantastic book by Moriarty! 5/5

Big Liane Moriarty fan here. A touching, heartwarming story of second chances and new perspectives. Just wish we got to see more of the get-back-together part of Nick and Alice’s relationship.

This book went on too long, but the ending really made the book. It's not so much that I was yearning for her and Nick to get back together. But I liked the statement it made about love and marriage, it's ups and downs. You can love each other and then hate each other and come out of it with a richer love. It's almost like we're so obsessed with the idea of how this person makes me happy that it becomes a selfish thing. Adult love endures through unhappiness and through the benefit I get from it at any given moment, just as I love my child even when she's driving me crazy. As a 40 year old mom I can relate to how much life and how much you can change over 10 years.
Oh damn it, I'm changing my rating and upvoting it.
