"The character stereotypes (the class clown, the overachiever, the new kid, the would-be rock star, etc.) make this reminiscent of an all-male version of The Breakfast Club. The short novel is accompanied by the story written in play form, offering an opportunity for a readers' theater performance" - School Library Journal

“Full of suspense yet emotionally grounded…Fans of Liane Moriarty, Paula Hawkins, and Carla Buckley will adore this peek inside a gated community that truly takes care of its own, no matter the consequences." —Booklist
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Husband’s Secret, Big Little Lies, and What Alice Forgot.
June 7
Dark secrets, a devastating mystery, and the games both children and adults play all swirl together in this gripping novel, packed with utterly believable characters and page-turning suspense.
In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty takes on the foundations of our lives:
marriage, sex, parenthood, and friendship. She shows how guilt can expose the fault lines in the most seemingly strong relationships, how what we don’t say can be more powerful than what we do, and how sometimes it is the most innocent of moments that can do the greatest harm.
