Summary & Review:
Cecilia is blessed with a picture perfect life: handsome husband, three wonderful daughters, and a successful business. All of that is upended, however, when she finds a letter addressed to her from her husband with instructions only to open it in the event of his death. When the weight of not knowing becomes too heavy, she opens the letter and her life will never be the same.
After my wife read and loved Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies (#319), she bought this one and “made” me read it when she was finished. Moriarty definitely has subjects she likes to write about: school moms (or “mums” in her Australian English), marriage, secrets within marriage, suburbia, murder in said suburbia, etc. So, there were a lot of similarities between the two novels of hers that I have read. That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, because I had really enjoyed Big Little Lies, too. This was another entertaining novel and Moriarty has a light prose that is easy to read. While I didn’t like this one quite as much, it was still fun to read.
Rating: 7.0
