Apples Never Fall (by Liane Moriarty)

Liane Moriarty is always good value. She's great at nailing characters that don't feel like cliches, even minor characters, and building suspense and organic twists in a story.

My biggest pet peeve here is that it's probably overlong; I thought it was kind of clever how so much of the story is told through background characters (like a receptionist or a waitress overhearing our characters talking) and I admired her ability to make these characters feel real, but there was probably some fat to be trimmed nonetheless.

I guarantee this will be a Big Little Lies-esque miniseries because of course it will be. Exactly what you'd expect from a Moriarty book: a solid, breezy, engaging read.
