Review: Loved, loved, loved, LOVED - Basically, I loved this. Loved it, loved it, loved it. I read it in a day, and quite literally couldn't bring myself to put it down - and was pretty annoyed when my Kindle ran out of juice. I've read all of Liane Moriarty's other books now I think, and what I consistently enjoy is her ability to create really quite unlikable and flawed characters that are so real you love them. Sophie Honeywell is another such one. She's flight, she's a bit shallow, she's way too spoilt, I bet she'd be a bit of a know-it-all what with her wine habit and all, and that heinous crime, everyone loves her - those who don't hate her that is. Yet poor Sophie is nearly 40 and her biological clock is ticking away and there's no-one on the horizon. She's scared, and she's worried about being alone (unlike her perfectly-in-love parents) and she's a bit bored at work, and everyone around her seems to have a perfect life, but Sophie hides it all and smiles and gets on baking her pretty tasteless cakes, and that's what I loved about her. I loved the way she had a running narrative in her head about her life, and I loved the way she could see all her faults too. Then there's the story. An abandoned baby mystery and a strange selection of family making money from it for decades, and obviously doing a great cover up job. What really happened all those years ago? Why do the family have to wait until they are 40 to find out? To find out WHAT????? And the family too - who include Sophie's ex. There's Grace, who has post-natal depression, and thinks her baby would be better off without her. There's Enigma, the grown-up abandoned baby who has a bit of a superstar complex. There's prickly Veronika who is also a bit in love with Sophie (the only person not in love with Sophie is Sophie) and there's Rose, one of the original sisters who found the baby. There's Marge, who is sick of being told by her husband she's a beached whale. And there's the absent, irritating, perfect Louisa. Liane Moriarty lets us inside all their heads, warts and all. This is funny. It's really funny in places - as in laugh out loud funny - and not many books are. It's poignant. It's a great story - actually lots of great stories. It's a fantastic character study (studies). And it's just a great read. I even liked the ending which had several great twists in the tail. Loved it, did I say that?
Review: I really enjoyed it. The descriptions of Scribbly Gum Island was ... - I've read a couple of books by this author now and my interest was piqued when I read the book description for this one. With the others being quite dark, I do admit to kind of expecting something slightly different but once I settled into it, I really enjoyed it. The descriptions of Scribbly Gum Island was just so picturesque. Only a handful of houses and only able to be reached by boat, it sounded bliss. If Sophie hadn't have wanted to move there, I would have been first in the queue to bite her hand off to go live there myself as it just sounded so wonderful. As much as I was interested in finding out more abut the Munroe baby mystery, the characters and their lives really stand out in this story. Grace was someone who really interested me and my heart went out to her also. Sophie is definitely a wonderful character and her love life brings a lot of humour into the story. She hasn't had much luck on that front but it really makes for some enjoyable reading. The Last Anniversary is very much about family, relationships as well as secrets. It covers topics like post natal depression of which I thought the author handled really well. I have to admit to being slightly disappointed by the mystery revelation but I think that's more my own fault as I read lots of psychological thrillers with big twists and for some reason was expecting there to be one. Setting that part to one side though, this really is an enjoyable book that will intrigue and entertain its reader.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful and Engaging Story
*by S***Y on 28 June 2025*

I was sad to reach the end of this book which is always the sign of a wonderful story. The entire cast of characters were well-drawn and believable - it felt as though they were real people. The writing style drew me in and I wanted to know what happened next, even though I had already watched the TV series. As is so often the case, whilst I enjoyed watching it on the telly, the book was so much better!
