The Husband's Secret - Liane Moriarty - 5 stars

I had first downloaded this as an E-book a few years ago and never got around to reading it. It just happened to be at our small local library so I decided it was time to read this book because I thought the synopsis of this book was pretty interesting. Boy am I glad I finally decided to read it. This is such a great contemporary.Synopsis
At the heart of The Husband’s Secret is a letter that’s not meant to be read

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.

When I first started reading this and discovered that there was more than one story going on in this book I was a little disappointed. I picked up the book because I wanted to read about the Husband's secret not about these other peoples lives. I soon discovered that these other stories were a huge part of the overall story and were definitely needed to make the story as intriguing as it was. Wow the twists in this story were unexpected and well placed. The story was very well paced and I could NOT get my nose out of the book.

I loved every single one of these characters for their originality and their relatability. They were so well developed that you felt like they came from a series and not just a single stand alone. They all had their own individual issues to deal with and then come face to face with other people's problems as well. Meeting them and then learning about them was like walking into the lives of real people. I loved that so much. One my most favorite parts of the book eas the epilogue. WOW is all ican say about that.

Reading this book makes me excited to read more of this authors work and share it with everyone. It is so well written that the majority of readers could enjoy this story, therefore I recommend this to everyone.
