Almost finished listening to this, I wasn‘t sure if I‘d like it to begin with but the story has drawn me in (for better or worse!).

I really wanted to love this. But the further into it I got, the more self-indulgent it seemed to get. I didn‘t find either Maurice or Sarah all that interesting later in the book, and my earlier intrigue at how their affair played out gradually wore into annoyance and determination just to finish the damn thing.

I listened to this on audiobook and Colin Firth‘s performance was marvellous so that‘s one thing I liked, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

‘Daddy does not think I‘m boring!‘ screamed Polly.

Yeah but this book is, so far. 🙄

Not her best work, sadly. I liked the premise; self help and personal improvement is a huge market and who doesn‘t want to be transformed?! But the twist is a bit daft, the back stories take up the bulk of the book so it seems to take forever to actually get going, and the characters themselves are a bit on the nose, tbh. A quick and fairly absorbing read, but Moriarty has written better. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“I‘m not sure I can do this. I‘m not sure I can let go of everything that happened, start again. For a minute my finger givers irrationally over the Delete button. And then I click.”

“It was a nice day. All the days had been nice. There had been rather more than seven of them so far, and rain hadn‘t been invented yet.”

Just starting this, courtesy of a very kind friend who‘s sent me this copy today!

Roger has just been found murdered! 😱
