What Amazon Says:
Sam and Clementine have a wonderful, albeit busy, life: they have 2 little girls, Sam has just started a new dream job, and Clementine, a cellist, is busy preparing for the audition of a lifetime. If there's anything they can count on, it's each other. Clementine and Erika are each other's oldest friends. A single look between them can convey an entire conversation. But theirs is a complicated relationship, so when Erika mentions a last-minute invitation to a barbecue with her neighbors, Tiffany and Vid, Clementine and Sam don't hesitat. Having Tiffany and Vid's larger-than-life personalitities there will be a welcome respite. 2 months later, it won't stop raining, and Clementine and Sam can't stop asking themselves the question: What if we hadn't gone?
I usually like Moriarty's books, but this one was a bit of a miss for me. I liked some of the chracters - Vid especially - but most fell flat. And my goodness, the keeping the reader in the dark for almost the entire book and then spending just a short while on the resolution - ridiculous. And while was was a bit of a tragedy, it was not worth the hype that was going on in this book. Just silly
