Stan and Joy Delaney have been married for fifty years. Just like any couple that has been married for that long, they have their ups and downs. They are well known in their community and have recently retired from the tennis school they ran for decades. The four Delaney children have been seeking excellence since childhood, but none of them have been able to find the love their parents share. But then one day Joy sends her four children a cryptic text, and she disappears. Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke are completely baffled, and their father has been no help. The siblings are torn, did their father do something to their mother? Or is her disappearance tied to the stranger they invited into their home last year? Either way, the Delaney children are desperate to find their mother.
Apples Never Fall is the latest from one of the most popular authors on the planet. From the outside, the Delaney family looks nearly perfect. Most of the children have successful careers and are still very close. The Delaney children all seem a bit entitled, and that might be just the reason all of them have had relationship struggles. Obviously, there is a mysterious element to the story, but not once was I on the edge of my seat. The ending was almost a letdown. CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS Even though there is a lot of timeline jumping with this novel, it is fairly easy to keep it all straight. It just isn't as gripping as I had hoped.
Bottom Line - Of course, you should read Apples Never Fall. Liane Moriarty is wildly popular for a reason. However, manage your expectations going into it and you won't be disappointed.
