My favorite Liane Moriarty is Big Little Lies for it’s humor and realistic characters. Apples Never Fall also has great characters and is more of a family drama then a mystery. The plot drags a bit and the addition of the pandemic at the end came across as an afterthought that didn’t add anything to the story.

Not my favorite book by Liane. I finished Apples because I wanted to know how it ended. The last chapter confused me. Even so, I still like Liane’s style of writing and found myself laughing out loud at some of the dialogue and at her witty observations.

This was really way drawn out and took forever to read.. I just never fully got into this one. It had a few chapters that were cool, but overall, it's just not my type of read!

OK. I am a fan of Moriarty. She is a fav. But, this one dragged a little for me. Kinda like 'Nine Perfect Strangers'. The first half of the book could have been shortened. And tennis isn't my thing. Mother goes missing, father is a little clueless. Kids are dysfunctional. Typical starting plot for any good Moriarty book. Really wanted to like this one, but three stars for writing well... And well, for being Moriarty.

the characters just kept being revealed little by little...the ending was a bit of a surprise for me but it made sense...
