    About this audiobook

    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. And 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.

      It was ok. Really Sad for the most part. Why doesn’t anybody have happy endings anymore.
    • 4/5
      Wonderfully witty, a great read. Narration a bit robotic, though.
    • 5/5
      Another great book by Liane! She has become my favorite author
    • 4/5
      Wasn't my favorite of hers, but I enjoyed it (even though it skipped and repeated all over the place. But that's on Scribd.)
    • 4/5
      Not as good as Big Little Lies, it dragged to much at times but the last 50 or so pages redeemed the book. An entertaining quick read, from a great author.
    • 3/5
      Not as good as her later books. This was written earlier in her writing career, and I think she developed into a better writer as she went along. You can definitely see signs of her talent for character development and great dialogue. The ending was kind of anti-climactic and fizzled out, but all-in-all a worthwhile read.
    • 5/5
      Very very impressed by the style of this book. Crosses quite a lot of characters and most of them manage to have some depth. This story handles an extended family and how they interact based around a single event/matirach. I really enjoyed the slow pace and the simple writing style. It was an easy read but not a pointless one. I would recommend this book.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. Several friends have recommended Liane Moriarty to me and this was the first novel of hers that I have picked up. I didn't go into this book with any real expectations.I loved the strong sense of Australia that this book had. I love the specificity of the types of cookies they ate - the places they visited and the birds and flowers in the landscape. Never having been to Australia - I really enjoy all these details and they add so much to the telling of the book.The story was unusual and progressed in a page turning fashion. It was one part mystery and one part relationship novel - it worked and I liked the varied plot lines of the different characters. This is a great summer read - a terrific book to throw into your beach bag!
    • 3/5
      I somehow stumbled across this book, and picked it up to read between some other obligatory books, which were either darker, more serious, or non-fiction. This presented a good diversionary read, with characters I liked (though I kept getting the family tree all bolloxed up). So great moments/twists in the book, as characters reveal themselves, but my favorite came at the very end of the book. Can't say more without a spoiler.
    • 4/5
      I've liked every book by author Liane Moriarty. Enjoyable characters and storyline about a family that lives on a small island, and the shenanigans they get up to.
    • 4/5
      I'm going to give this one 3.5 stars actually. I have come to love Liane Moriarty books but this one isn't at the top of my favorites. It took me longer to get into this book and I kept feeling that I just wanted to be done with it. It drags a little and has too many different characters perspectives. I did enjoy the surprise at the end involving Rose, it made the read worth it!
    • 3/5
      Not as snarky and funny as Moriarty's other books but still a very engaging and entertaining story.
    • 5/5
      As usual, just great! I love the way she deals with each and every character in this rather large collection of people and how they all interrelate. She is such a great story teller in all of her books. I am looking forward to her newest one, already out in Australia, The Husband's Secret, which I happen to have a copy of right here in my hands---happiness!!

      Moriatry crafts novels that suck you in immediately. The timeline and family tree in this one are a little trickier to follow than her others, but I read it in one weekend and that helped me keep everything straight.The Gordon family has lived on a small island in Australia for years. A mystery involving a vanished family and abandoned baby has haunted the shores for decades. When Connie, one of the eldest members of the family passes away, she unexpectedly leaves her home to her grandson’s ex-girlfriend Sophie. The odd choice baffles the family, but soon Sophie steps into her ready-made life on the island. She meets Connie’s whimsical sister Rose, Enigma, the mystery baby and her adult daughters: Margie and Laura. The grandkids, Grace, Thomas, and Veronica are all adults as well. Each one adds a unique twist to the story. Grace’s story was powerful because it gave such an intimate look at post-partum depression, something so few people understand. I also loved seeing Margie’s transformation. Standing up for yourself after years of being put down is incredibly difficult. The big twist/reveals weren’t as shocking as some of her other novels, like Big Little Lies, but that didn’t matter. I just enjoy the worlds she creates too much to care. BOTTOM LINE: The magic of the island is infectious. You want to visit it and be swept away by the mystery of it all. It’s not my favorite Moriarty novel. It definitely feels like an earlier work, but that just means she’s getting better with each book and I have even more great novels to look forward to.
    • 2/5
      I liked the other two books of hers I read, but this one was HORRIBLE. I didn't care about the characters at all...
    • 4/5
      What if?Sophie Honeywell lives in Sydney and is left a house on Scribbly Gum Island by the Aunt of her ex-boyfriend. Poor Sophie, almost 40, without boyfriend or child. Part murder mystery (the island shot to fame due to an abandoned child), part chick lit.The novel could have been 50+ pages shorter, however, I loved the authors snarky comments!
    • 4/5
      A brilliant book, touching and funny. It's about a woman who doesn't get from life what she'd really want. Then she moves to a close-knit community and has to sort her life out. I like this author and can't wait for her next novel. Her first novel was better though.
    • 5/5
      Each of the characters in _The Last Anniversary_ is drawn to perfection by Ms. Moriarty. Fully formed with foibles as well as charms of the men and women of Scribbly Gum Island are quite believable. The most fascinating thing about Scribbly Gum Island isn’t the mystery of the Munro baby but the tightly knit web of relationships among the people tied to the island. Ms. Moriarty does a marvelous job of showing us just how far one can go when circumstances require as well as what can happen when people realize that dreams are nice but reality can have happy endings too. I’ll be spreading the word about this marvelous tale.
