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.

Critic reviews

“Lip-smacking and sharply intelligent.” (Entertainment Weekly)

Really Enjoyed

This was a good read - it is unique and it kept me interested. Check it out.

Loved It

Brilliantly read by my favorite narrator Caroline Lee (who narrated the above book as well), what you think is the secret is in fact far worse than thought. Liane's psychological insight is always appreciated and there's always a twist and turn along the way with all her interesting characters. Enjoyed it very much.

What a clever twist, loved the ironic conclusion

this book really explores the consequences of ones actions on other people's lives. I was traveling across country driving while listening and near the end I was gesturing and yelling at the radio about the clever way the author tied up all the pieces. awesome. I'm a fan!

Really enjoyable.

Although a little predictable, I really liked this book. Good character development and interesting how they all tied in with each other. I loved the last chapter!

excellent read!

Love this book... my second time reading it after about 4 years. love anything from this author so far!

She is now my favorite author

Fabulous book—full of well developed, believable characters, ethical dilemmas and unforeseeable twists and turns. Narration is suburb. Perfect story for book clubs to dissect and go at with varying opinions. I can’t get enough of her books; she is a brilliant writer.

Comfy book

I enjoyed it. Listened to it after work while winding down. English accent through the whole book.

Loved the story and narrator

Maybe it's the Aussie accent but loved this narrator! I was engrossed in the characters. Very entertaining.

Riveting

It was a struggle to get into because I didn't care for the person who voiced Cecilia. I am glad I stuck with it because the story was interesting.

My First Audible Book

This was my first Audible book and after reading the reviews I decided to jump right in. Great story!! The narrator was wonderful!! And I especially loved the epilogue. If all of my experiences on Audible are this good, I'll be a happy customer.
