[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welcome back to the book club! This week the book selection Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty is about 6 adults, 3 kids, one dog... what could go wrong? [/quote]

[b]1) What did you think of the book? Did you have a favorite character? [/b]

This was my least favorite of Moriarty's books, mostly because of the extremely long suspension of What Happened, but also because I couldn't find much to like of any of the characters.  If I had to pick one, I'd say Tiffany was my favorite because she was so harshly misjudged but had the most "good" in her heart.  But really, all of them were just a little too exaggerated and formulaic.

[b]2) What did you think of Clementine and Erika's relationship [/b]

I thought it was too unrealistic. No one could maintain that kind of relationship with so hostility.

[b]3) What did you think of the neighbor character? Was it pointless? Did you enjoy learning about this character? [/b]

Unfortunately, no.  The story painted him as such a nuisance for so long that by the time it got around to revealing his background, I still saw him as nothing but a nuisance.  I think there's some value in learning how a person's history and small decisions that have a big impact can change a trajectory, but I just didn't care enough about any of the characters or their outcomes.

The most fun I had with this book is looking for all the elements that show up in every one of Moriarity's stories:  country music/Elvis, preoccupation with lagging sex in marriage... I can't even remember the others, because the book was so unmemorable compared to others.  [/quote]
