Publisher's summary

"My darling Cecilia, if you’re reading this, then I’ve died...."

Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. 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, then, that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive....

Cecilia Fitzpatrick has achieved it all - she's an incredibly successful businesswoman, a pillar of her small community, and a devoted wife and mother. Her life is as orderly and spotless as her home. 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.

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.

Loved it!

This was a book that I didn't want to finish. I wanted it to go on and on. Liane Moriarty created characters that were unique but believable. This book was 3, maybe 4 stories that all tied together at the end. I laughed and cried over and over. The Husband's Secret ranks in my top 10 favorite books ever read.

Enjoyed very much

Would you consider the audio edition of The Husband's Secret to be better than the print version?

Not sure, I don't have the print version

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Husband's Secret?

When she finally finds out the secret, and when she is at the hospital towards the end but that's all I will say, I don't want to spoil anything.

Which scene was your favorite?

The hospital scene when she is talking to the other Mom

If you could take any character from The Husband's Secret out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Hmmmmm...not sure on that one

Any additional comments?

This is the first book I read by this author, and I have already bought another one. I enjoyed the narrator very much as well.

Intricately Weaves Multiple Plot Lines

I enjoy novels where the stories of multiple families are told and then as the novel progresses various points of intersection are revealed. Overall an enjoyable read.

Great book!

At first it was a little difficult to follow along, especially while listening to it via Audible, because there are so many characters. But after the first several chapters you get sucked in and want to listen to it until the end!

Lovely!

This is my third Liane Moriarty book that I have listened to and have loved each one! She is a solid storyteller whose plotlines leave you thinking of your own "bigger picture." I would definitely recommend to others and will listen again!
