“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 secret forever. Just ask Pandora.”
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.
This book would be a good holiday read - it was an easy lighthearted read with nothing too heavy or complicated going on, but just enough romance, mystery and drama too keep you wanting to read more.
It had three main female characters that had different stories which were pretty easy to follow, but I didn't guess the twist ending and how all the stories intertwined until the end of the book.
You will enjoy this book if you are a fan of chick-lit such as Sophie Kinsella, but not quite up to the quality of Jojo Moyes or Jodi Picoult.
