Apples Never Fall

Having read all of Liane Moriarty's books I was thrilled when this came out. However like her last one it just does not compare in any way shape or form to the genius that was "The Husband's Secret" or "Big Little Lies" It used to be said that authors have one great book in them, well Liane Moriarty had many more than one, but this is not one of them. Boring, repetitive and of no interest, except perhaps to tennis players. Sorry, hope there may yet be another Great one.

The problem with this book for me is that I couldn't invest in any of the characters and that left me not really caring about what happens to them. I've put it aside for now and will try again in a few weeks.

I got distracted reading it, it didnt have that intriguing element to keep you guessing. I couldn't wait to finish, just to finish, to be honest because i paid more for this book than i usually do and didnt want to give up. It just didn't come together for me in the intrigue and psychological stakes.

I have read all Lianes books and have loved them all, this one does not disappoint. Her characterisation is just amazing, they are what I love most about Lianes books although the plots are always so clever too. Joy is an absolute delight and getting to know her and Stan and all her children makes this such a wonderful read, add in the mystery of Savannah and where is Joy then this makes for one very unputdownable, read in one sitting book, highly recommend.

If you love tennis , loved big little lies , and love a good read this is a must! Will be my bookclub choice because before I sat round slurping wine and talking about books I used to spend a lot of my life at the local club playing so called ‘social tennis’ - so it’s a delight to read a novel that covers the dynamic of club tennis as well as some fab insights into the junior game! Thank you Liane Moriarty!

We’ll where do I start? This book is the most ridiculous, boring load of drivel I have ever read (and I’ve read some c***) It was bad enough getting to what I thought was the end. Then I noticed on my Kindle that I had another 25 minutes to go. I think the author had probably finished the book, before Covid hit. So she added a bit on to the end, to include the pandemic….and then decided to add even more at the end to which I can’t even comment on because it was completely irrelevant to the story….all in all this book is a disaster

This really is not worth your time.The plot is ridiculous and the ending reminds me of the type of ending my teacher would have told me not to write in primary school (‘and it was all a dream’)Totally ridiculous and as if!If you are thinking about reading this don’t. It is a waste of time. To add insult to injury it ends and then there is another half an hour of pointless dival to get through.A massive waste of time. Very disappointing.

I have read all of her books and enjoyed most of them. After being disappointed in 9 perfect strangers (although I enjoyed the tv series) I hoped I would like this and it didn't disappointed, I liked the characters and the way the plot came together. I would recommend this book.
