The
Last Exchange has everything — memorable characters, a driving plotline, stunning twists, and—an extra delight for me as an
author — writing that sometimes feels poetic without being pretentious.
This is the kind of storyline that makes you
care. Real-world situations (like opioid addiction) are handled thoughtfully
and portrayed realistically. Readers will find themselves invested in the
compelling characters, rooting for their happy endings.
I've already recommended this book to a wide range
of reader friends because I was so impressed with it. This was definitely a standout read of 2023 for me.
"Here's the catch-even if I make it out of here alive, I need a reason to breathe again."
When MacThomas Pockets finished his last tour as part of the Scottish Special Forces, he was hired to consult for a film director to finesse some scenes that weren't working. In a twist he never saw coming, he ended up moving to L.A. to work as the bodyguard for movie star Maybe Joe Sue.
It didn't take long for Pockets to realize there were two Joe Sues: The Joe Sue the public saw with her perfect life and her Hollywood husband. And…
Moriarty's writing makes me laugh in one
paragraph and tear up in the next. One of her greatest writing strengths is her
ability to place the reader in each character's head firmly.
This book has many poignant, quotable lines, and the plotline moves at a good pace, keeping the reader invested in the
outcome, which is very satisfactory.
I'd consider this story a regular masterpiece,
and I couldn't put it down. (Note-some strong language). I thought Nine Perfect Strangers was my favorite
Moriarty book, but now I'm totally conflicted—a memorable read.
From Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, comes Apples Never Fall, a novel that looks at marriage, siblings, and how the people we love the most can hurt us the deepest.
The Delaney family love one another dearly―it’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . .
If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father?
This is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney siblings.
Serle's unpredictable novels are made stronger
by the pinch of magical realism she sprinkles throughout the plotting.
Her
characters are deeply drawn so readers can feel their joys and griefs. In this
book, she perfectly captures that inexplicable "something" about New
York City. I relished In Five Years.
