About the Book
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 is 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.Book Synopsis

Review Quotes
Praise for The Husband's Secret "Spellbinding...A knockout!"--Emily Giffin, New York Times bestselling author "The Husband's Secret is so good, you won't be able to keep it to yourself."--USA Today "What a wonderful writer--smart, wise, funny."--Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author "Brilliant."--Sophie Hannah, New York Times bestselling author "Lip-smacking and sharply intelligent."--Entertainment Weekly "Perfect for vacation reading: There's humor, suspense, a circle of appealing women."--People "Secrets can be sinister; they can eat you alive. But they can also set you free. The Husband's Secret demonstrates this power with one of the most entertaining stories I have read in ages. Perfect for book clubs--lots to debate in these pages. I just loved it."--Dorothea Benton Frank, New York Times bestselling author "Simultaneously a page-turner and a book one has to put down occasionally to think about and absorb, Moriarty's novel challenges the reader as well as her characters, but in the best possible way."--Publishers Weekly "Reading groups rejoice. This meaty novel from the bestselling author will probably land on many must-read lists."--Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Moriarty may be an edgier, more provocative, and bolder successor to Maeve Binchy."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)About The Author

: The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ 📚 Overall Reading Experience & Impressions This book is an emotional rollercoaster filled with suspense, secrets, and unexpected twists. It starts off overwhelming with multiple characters, but by page 100, I couldn’t put it down! Liane Moriarty masterfully weaves together different storylines, revealing deep character flaws and moral dilemmas. The tension builds steadily, leading to a shocking and heartbreaking ending that leaves you thinking about the weight of secrets long after you finish the last page. ✅ What I Liked ✨ Engaging and suspenseful storyline ✨ Well-developed, complex characters ✨ Themes of morality and choices add depth ✨ Page-turner that keeps you hooked ❌ What Didn’t Work 🤯 Too many characters at the beginning—felt overwhelming 😡 Some character decisions were frustrating (looking at you, Tess!) 💔 The ending is heartbreaking and unfair 💭 Final Thoughts A must-read for fans of drama, suspense, and thought-provoking moral dilemmas. The story makes you question how well you truly know the people in your life and what secrets they might be hiding. 📌 Who Would I Recommend This To? 🎭 Fans of emotional dramas 🔍 Readers who love suspenseful, multi-character narratives 📖 Fans of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers 💬 Book clubs—so much to discuss! 🔥 Spice Rating: 1/5 (Minimal romance, more emotional drama) 🔞 Age Rating: 16+ (Mature themes, some heavy emotional moments)

I couldn't put this book down! Each character became increasingly connected to one another with ease and the ending completely threw me for a loop.

I just finished reading this and I loved how all the stories played out, in the end. There are several character stories, going on in this book, at one time. Each chapter is a character and it alternates between the different individuals. And, I love how it all came together and the ending is explained. "None of us ever know all the possible courses our lives could have and maybe should have taken. It's probably just as well. Some secrets are meant to stay forever." Love it!!!! What is meant to be, will be!
