Why I chose this book:
I had to see what the hype was all about with this one. As with anything that is adapted for the screen, I became curious about what the appeal was. As mentioned previously, Liane Moriarty had three novels in the Top 101 this year, so it was time to investigate.
Thoughts:
Another overrated one, I'm afraid! It was interesting and kept me entertained but it also just seemed a bit inconsistent in tone. I didn't really like any of the characters and while the bitchiness was a bit of fun the darker stuff made it seem a little off-kilter.

Verdict: Was it worthy?
Here we go again with a book of the moment making the list. This is obviously having a good run thanks to the TV series, but overall I don't think it has the staying power and will be forgotten soon enough. Always nice to see an Aussie author representing, though.
