Some women will eat it up, but i found it poorly written, repetitive, and so predictable that it's laughable. However, most of those mass produced books are WAY better than this chart topping hooey. However, as humiliating as it may be, I am a fan of Harlequin, the king of the mass produced romance lady novel. These women are wretchedly annoying.Īlright, people might think 'Mitch, you are a male reader, and you don't fall into the demographic, so you are an unfair judge'. The characters are not likable at all and I couldn't relate to any of them. Predictability, weak characters, no character development, and just full to the brim of everything yucky. It also follows two other women and their stories of love and heartbreak.īLECH. A woman finds a hidden letter written years ago by her loyal husband that contains a secret that could change or ruin many lives. 'The Husband's Secret' by Liane Moriarty sounds awesome in theory. This year so far has been an overall bummer for me in finding good reads and yikes.I wish I could get my money back. And this hunk of garbage can be added to this list. I have been so ashamed of many of the newest Best Sellers that have been released.

But that letter is about to change everything, and not just for her: Rachel and Tess barely know Cecilia-or each other-but they too are about to feel the earth-shattering repercussions of her husband’s secret.Īcclaimed author Liane Moriarty has written a gripping, thought-provoking novel about how well it is really possible to know our spouses-and, ultimately, ourselves. Her life is as orderly and spotless as her home. Imagine, then, that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive.Ĭecilia Fitzpatrick has achieved it all-she’s an incredibly successful businesswoman, a pillar of her small community, and a devoted wife and mother. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his deepest, darkest secret-something with the potential to destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. My darling Cecilia, if you’re reading this, then I’ve died. At the heart of The Husband’s Secret is a letter that’s not meant to be read
