APPLES NEVER FALL (Liane Moriarty) - May 6/24

 I enjoyed this quite a bit; the mystery is interesting and although it took a while for me to tell them apart, the various characters are all quite compelling. I liked, too, that I couldn't possibly have guessed the outcome, but thinking back, the clues are mostly all there. But yikes this book is long. It feels maybe five times longer than necessary, and this was especially apparent in the multiple endings. I got to the end of one chapter, was sure it was the ending, and then chuckled to myself when there turned out to be more chapters to come. Pretty insane. *** out of ****
