I’m always a bit sussed out by media that prominently features a character who falsely accuses others of sexual assault for malicious intent because the optics of that are just very murky in this political climate, but that’s really my only major issue here. Liane Moriarty is a maniac (/pos) and I forgot how fun a book of hers is to read, I breezed through this. Challengers made me realize how inherently drama-filled and sexy tennis is, so it’s nice to have a tennis backdrop. The plot is Silly, and that’s okay! The ending isn’t as flashy and explosive as Big Little Lies, but there’s a mystery and it’s solved and it’s satisfying. The characters were all very fun. I like stories about siblings because I’m an only child so it’s like a window into an alternate version of my childhood where maybe I had a sister and two brothers.
