Apples Never Fall

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.

Not my fave Moriarty book but wasn’t that bad. Still had a few surprises.

I really enjoyed this one and loved that it was different and not too predictable. BUT...I felt like it was at a great place to end and it kept going. And then it was again at a great place to end and kept going. Several more times. Just felt like she tried to go in too many directions at the end.

I didn’t think I could make it through this book. I felt the characters were annoying. Finally, half way through, the author caught my attention. The story all came together nicely!
