The Last Anniversary

A Novel

By: Liane Moriarty

Narrated by: Heather Wilds, Caroline Lee

From Liane Moriarty, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Big Little Lies andNine Perfect Strangers, comes an unforgettable novel defined by her signature sharp wit, page-turning storyline, and lovable and eccentric characters.

A family secret explodes. A first kiss betrays. A mystery is solved. A marriage is tested. It all happens on one extraordinary night—the Last Anniversary!

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.

Already bought (and enjoyed) this book

I enjoy Liane Moriaty's books and thought I'd stumbled upon a new release. Took me an hour to realize that the reason this story seemed so familiar is because, indeed, I listened to this book a few years ago. I've almost bought the same book twice before, but Audible alerts that the title is already in my library. So why does this have a new cover and release date, yet it's exactly the same? Got my money back thanks to Audible's exchange policy, but I'd chosen the book for a car trip and was left "stranded" an hour in. First world problems, for sure. But Moriaty fans beware.

Unbearable narration

This is the type of book I like to listen to as I do household and garden chores. Pretty interesting story, but the narration was almost too painful to listen to. I struggled to finish it.

not my favorite from liane

this was not my favorite book of Liane Moriartys. I didn't really find the story line to be that interesting and sometimes it was hard to follow which character was thinking or saying something. oh well.

Slow to get started but stick with it.

This book took some time to get into it, but worth the listen. The characters are great. I really enjoyed getting to know each of them. Margie is my favorite!!

Such a fun book

Loved the characters of this book so much! You don’t want to miss this one!
