Leanne and Chelle love a good plot twist and Liane Moriaty is masterful as blindsiding her audience. The Books: Nine Perfect Strangers Apple's Never Fall Big Little Lies What Alice Forgot The Husband's Secret Truly Madly Guilty Other Mentions: Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers were both turned into a made for tv mini series although BLL was extended into a 2 season mini series. Liane also wrote The Hypnotist's Love Story; The Last Anniversary; and, Three Wishes. Jaclyn Moriaty writes fiction for young readers. Nicola Moriaty, the youngest sister, wrote The Fifth Letter which Chelle referred to which is general fiction and had her captivated too. Leanne and Chelle wondered which other books of Lianne's have been optioned. We have since found an article dated 2017 that stating that What Alice Forgot; The Husband's Secret; and, Truly Madly Guilty had all been optioned. Further investigation revealed that Truly Madly Guilty is in development. It appears on IMDB that The Hypnotist's Love Story was released in 2019 starring Heather Graham and Jane Seymour however it only shows that there is one episode so may have had production stalled through the pandemic.

Other Mentions: Chelle was curious about the difference between an autobiography and a memoir however at time of recording she hadn't actually done anything more than ponder. At time of publication we can share that research has been conducted and the results are in.... Memoirs and autobiographies are both non fiction narratives written by the person that they're about. An autobiography encompasses the entirety of a person's life story, while memoirs focus on just one powerful experience of a group of experiences and are often conveying a particular message, rather than simply overviewing someone's life.
