~*The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty
3.5 stars
I wanted to love this in the way that I loved Big,little lies and The Hypnotist's Love Story but I just didn't. It started so slow and there were a decent amount of POVs to keep up with. I normally do not have a problem following multiple characters but when they all have the exact voice it gets annoying on confusing. For the first part of this all the characters melted into one blur and then we had a break fromeveryone else to meet Janie. Now Janie has a distinctive voice but that is not all that happens when we meet Janie, Liane does something a bit different in this novel. She starts to play a game of "What if" from time to time. Kind of like if so and so hd not done this then this would have happened. That made the book more interesting and kept me reading.
Now on to the husband's secret... what would you do if you found a letter from your husband that read on the envelope "Only open after my death".Would you open it sooner? I am not sure if I would. Not sure I would want to know. It feels much like reading someone's private texts or e-mails. Wrong in some way. Of course who really knows what they would do. I do know that the big secret in the letter is more than likely exactly what you thought it would be...
I have to say I did not like Rachel even though I tried. Cecilia was hit or miss for me, sometimes I liked her and sometimes not. I did like Tess a lot after I got to know her. That being said I was not happy with the end because I hated the choices that every character made at the end. I would like to believe I would not choose the options these characters chose.
