Summary
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, FROM THE AUTHOR OF BIG LITTLE LIES, now an HBO series.

Winner of Goodreads Choice Award for Best Fiction

“Here’s the best news you’ve heard all year: Not a single page disappoints....The only difficulty with Truly Madly Guilty? Putting it down.” —Miami Herald

“Captivating, suspenseful…tantalizing.” —People Magazine

Six responsible adults. Three cute kids. One small dog. It’s just a normal weekend. What could possibly go wrong?

In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty turns her unique, razor-sharp eye towards three seemingly happy families.

Sam and Clementine have a wonderful, albeit busy, life: they have two 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 hesitate. Having Tiffany and Vid’s larger-than-life personalities there will be a welcome respite.

Two months later, it won’t stop raining, and Clementine and Sam can’t stop asking themselves the question: What if we hadn’t gone?

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.

I’m becoming a real fan of both the writer and the reader. A reader can make or break an audiobook, and this reader is spectacular. I believe the unique character developments by this author are really special as well. They are wonderful and flawed and real. I’m ready to listen to my fourth Liane Moriarty book and she goes in my list of good reads - not easy to get on that list.

Caroline Lee saved this book for me! She is fantastic! The characters came to life through her narration, especially Vid, love that character!

Profile Avatar Leah Drewcock Oct 2016

Love the narrator, her voice captured me entirely. The book struck a cord with me and the author has an amazing ability to draw you in and make you identify with every character in some way.

Profile Avatar Anne Schulte Aug 2016

This was a good book and I enjoyed how the end tied together. At first, however, I kept getting the characters mixed up. However, I always love how Liane Moriarty 's characters come to life in her books and this book is no different. Even the personalities of the little girls are so well developed and believable. The narrator, also, brings life and color to the story. I enjoy listening to her Australian accent tell the story. It truly transports me to Australia where these stories usually take place.

Profile Avatar Kimberly C. May 2025

I am a big fan of Liane Moriarty & this book was great! The narrator did a fabulous job. The story kept me interested with observations from several different points of view which all tie together in the end. I recommend this book.

Good writer. Good book

Profile Avatar Gina M. Jan 2022

I found this book slow and sometimes hard to follow. Sweet ending but not a very compelling read.

Profile Avatar Laura S. Jun 2021

It went on and on - I thought it would never end!

Boring, going nowhere

Profile Avatar Anonymous Jul 2019

I've read several of Moriarty's books and they're wonderful. But this narrator was spectacular and was a huge reason I enjoyed listening to this book so very much.

Profile Avatar Latanya M. Feb 2019

I Love Liane Moriarty's Books, I've read them all and listened to all of them Read by Caroline Lee. Caroline brings the characters alive as if she has meet them all individually, I enjoy her perception of the characters more than my own. However with or without a great Narrator, Liane Moriarty is an Amazing Writer, her books are always just what I need at the time. Thanks for writing, and Thanks Narrating. I will continue reading and listening. ☆☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

I really enjoyed Truly Madly Guilt, my second Lianne Moriarty book. It took a bit to figure out we were bouncing back and forth from the day of the BBQ to present day, to keep adding more to the back-story, but once I did the story unfolded seamlessly, but entirely differently than I'd been thinking it would. It was a great look into the psychology of guilt, and how our feelings are highly dependent on our prior experiences. And I loved the narration. I found the different voices and accents identifiable and the voice emotions seemed generally right on. I was only slightly annoyed by the little girl voices because they sounding more like brats than like sweet but naturally narcissistic children. Other than that this was a great audio read.

Profile Avatar Danielle A. Jul 2018

I enjoyed this. My favorite character is Vid.

Profile Avatar Sally T Apr 2018

This narrator was so difficult to listen too. I have tried over and over to enjoy this book but her squeaky voice is abrasive to my ears. I can’t follow the story either. I give this whole listening experience 2 thumbs down.

Profile Avatar Katie S Mar 2018

Love this author in Big Little Lies but this novel is very hard to get through. It’s very boring!

Profile Avatar K Gloor Dec 2017

Excellent book!

Profile Avatar Lacey G Oct 2017

The storyline wasn't as captivating as The Husband's Secret or Big Little Lies but it was nice to listen to on my way to and from work

Profile Avatar Melissa J Sep 2017

I'm a fan of Moriarty. She has a true gift of delivering the complexities of each character. Overall, it was a good book, but not her best as far as a captivating story line. Loved the narrator!

Profile Avatar Lindsey D Sep 2017

Not my favorite Lianne Moriarty book but a good listen over all. It's hard to love one as much as "Big Little Lies."

Profile Avatar Jamie L Jul 2017

Loved it

Profile Avatar Kristen N May 2017

This wasn't Moriatiry's best effort but I did like the characters except for the kids. She painted a great picture of Vid and Sylvia who were the most entertaining. The main characters were annoying and faceless. This narrator does a good job except for the kids. Her child voice is dreadful.

Profile Avatar Robin G May 2017

Enjoyed the book but not as well as her other ones. Great app for listening while driving!

Profile Avatar Chelsey Erwin Mar 2017

Amazing as usual. Liane never disappoints! Love the story line.

Profile Avatar Renee Kolonick Mar 2017

This, like all of Moriarty's books, did not disappoint. It did start slow, but was captivating before long.

Profile Avatar beth ryan Feb 2017

The narrator's voice annoyed me in the beginning. But by the end of the book I knew exactly who was "speaking". She did a good job. The story was meh. The kids in the story wore my nerves. All I could think of is how I would discipline them. Waaayyyy too long!

Profile Avatar Melany Dolter Jan 2017

Great characters, but a bit of a disappointing climax compared to her other books. On the other hand, I adore this narrator!!!

Profile Avatar Nancy Thomas Nov 2016

I loved this book. The characters were beautifully done. I felt I understood each person and all of their reactions to a scary and life threatening event. What a ride!!

Profile Avatar Tracy Jones Oct 2016

A very slow start to the story, but stick with it! It's a very good book!

Profile Avatar Nancy Krehlik Oct 2016

I didn't like this book much. It took a long time to seem to go anywhere, then it took even longer getting there.

Profile Avatar Danielle John Oct 2016

Don't bother with this one. I really enjoyed Moriarty's other books but this was disappointing. Awful narrator, with a squeaky, grating voice. No real twists or turns and not clever at all. The only positive about this book was it took me a month to listen to, so I didn't have to spend extra credits as I usually do.

Profile Avatar Sylvie Leone Oct 2016

Started off very slowly with often very annoying narration style from reader-ie-shrill children's voices with exagerrated Aussie accent. About 1/3 into the book it finally got interesting. A long tease until the 'incident' was revealed.

Profile Avatar Mary Mikula Oct 2016

I almost gave up on this book because it took so long to get to the point. Also, the author use "as if" way to often. Sometimes she could have just written a statement without using "as if" to explain the comment. Trust us, we understand what you're saying. Loved the narrator.

Profile Avatar Whitney Miller Sep 2016

I definitely enjoy Liane Moriarty books and binge read all of them. I was excited for this one to be released. It was good! Was a little slow to start but I still enjoyed the storyline very much! A good listen for sure.

Profile Avatar Tana Bolus Sep 2016

I love the author and she did not disappoint with this one.

Profile Avatar Deanna Crowley Aug 2016

I almost gave up on this book. The first half was so slow it was really hard to stick with it. I'm glad I did because the second pulled everything together and was really enjoyable.

Profile Avatar aubrey fisher Aug 2016

Great read! I couldn't stop! The characters are great and the story is face paced.

Profile Avatar Donna Mik Aug 2016

it was difficult to get through at first. Slow, characters were confusing to separate . However, after first few hours, story came together. It was good if you persevered!

Profile Avatar Belle Clark Aug 2016

I found the book to be boring, maybe if it was shorter by giving less information into each character.

Profile Avatar Jackie Berkowitz Aug 2016

Fantastic book with wonderful narration. Another hit from Moriarty! This is up there with the Husband's Secret.

Profile Avatar Joan Lindell Olsen Aug 2016

This book was kind of boring, especially compared to Moriarty's previous works. The characters were less compelling and it felt like she was filling the pages to have a complete book. On a positive note, however, bringing to light the risk of childhood drowning is significant - she may save some lives.

Profile Avatar Tshanna Laventon Aug 2016

Good book. However, I felt like getting to what happened at the barbecue took too long.
