At the heart of The Husband’s Secret is a letter that’s not meant to be read
My darling Cecilia, if you’re reading this, then I’ve died...

Acclaimed author Liane Moriarty has written a gripping, thought-provoking novel about how well it is really possible to know our spouses—and, ultimately, ourselves.
Australia based author which means I learn some new vocabulary and phrases. Well thought out and written. Didn't put it down. Didn't find the ending predictable.

I really enjoy this author. Really wraps up the ending. Didn't put it down much once I started it.

OOOOOOOHHHHHH, I hated this book. No disrespect to the author, though, as I'm re-realizing that this type of story is not for me. I'm going to leave it at that.
1 star for reading enjoyment (I think I would've rage quit if I hadn't been listening to the audiobook)
4 stars for the reader (she is fantastic! Love the accent, and she was great at differentiating between different voices)
3 stars for writing quality.
This is gonna make for a great book discussion, though....

A fascinating read about the implications of our actions and how they affect other people.
I especially liked the chapter at the end where the author told us a heap of possible futures and secrets that just made you think even more about what had happened in the book. It really highlights how hard it is for anyone to see and understand the whole picture.
