From Liane Moriarty, author of #1 New York Times
bestsellers Big Little Lies and Truly Madly
Guilty, comes an unforgettable novel defined by her
signature sharp wit, page-turning storyline, and lovable and
eccentric characters.
Sophie Honeywell always wondered if Thomas Gordon was the
one who got away. He was the perfect boyfriend, but on the
day he was going to propose, she broke his heart. A year
later he married his travel agent, while Sophie has been
mortifyingly single ever since. Now Thomas is back in her
life because Sophie has unexpectedly inherited his aunt
Connie’s house on Scribbly Gum Island—home of the famously
unsolved Munro Baby mystery.
Sophie moves onto the island and begins a new life as part
of an unconventional family, where it seems everyone has a
secret. Grace, a beautiful young mother, is feverishly
planning a shocking escape from her perfect life. Margie, a
frumpy housewife, has made a pact with a stranger, while
dreamy Aunt Rose wonders if maybe it’s about time she
started making her own decisions.
As Sophie’s life becomes increasingly complicated, she
discovers that sometimes you have to stop waiting around—and
come up with your own fairy-tale ending.
