Truly Madly Guilty is focussed on the event at an Australian BBQ. Big Little Lies was adapted for TV (HBO) with Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. The Hypnotist’s Love Story was the first book of Liane’s I read and it remains with me still.

Some of her previous novels have included The Hypnotist’s Love Story, What Alice Forgot, The Last Anniversary and Three Wishes. Liane Moriarty is an Australian author with a few ‘blinders’ under her belt. The genre often addresses issues of modern womanhood – from romantic relationships to female friendships to matters in the workplace – in humorous and light-hearted ways. However, here goes….Ĭhick lit or chick literature is genre fiction, which “consists of heroine-centred narratives that focus on the trials and tribulations of their individual protagonists”.

Maybe the cover choice is intended to pull in those ladies who like the true definition (see below) but I feel it may exclude those ladies who want something a bit more thought provoking if not over-challenging! Maybe I’m kidding myself that it isn’t chick lit. The quote ‘never judge a book by it’s cover’ has never been truer. The reason for doing this is that both the cover and the title would suggest that this is an easy reading, sexy romp in the sunshine. Before I started writing a review for this hugely enjoyable and thought-provoking book I thought I ought to get the Wiki definition of Chick Lit.
