I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened.īoth books are solidly written and structured, with the authors moving back and forth among characters’ perspectives. Both books are heavily plot-driven, but that’s not a criticism on my part. ![]() ![]() My Opinion: I don’t want to say too much about plot because I think the less you know the better. My Tagline: All of Liane Moriarty’s books meets a dash of Desperate Housewives meets all of Slate’s coverage of parenting with privilege. While Hepworth’s book is set in laid-back Melbourne, Australia, and Molloy’s is set in upscale Brooklyn, both authors present characters who are so obsessed with the way they think they ought to be that they fail to see what they’ve become.
