I enjoyed Moriarty’s perspective on the day to day living of us middle class folk. She nailed it. The marriage drama, complicated friendship, infertility issues the fine line of tragedy shifting you out of the happy yet Mondaini lives we live in our society. He characters were very convincing. The day of the BBQ, for peats sake. I can’t believe how long it took to get to what actually happened at the BBQ. There was a good portion of the book I was captivated by but the majority I found dull and slow. The BBQ is a let down. Spice it up with some swingers action or something.
