I had heard really good things about the The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty. I read her other book, Big Little Lies, and really liked that one. This one was finally available at the library, so I was excited to read it.
Let me just start by saying that these are the only 2 books by Moriarty that I have read, but they were just too similar. She definitely has themes in these 2 books that make them seem almost too clique (twins, unsolved murders, food, sex). They just all felt too similar.
I will say that I was hooked at the book at first. I didn't want to put it down, but then I could start to guess everything that was going to happen. Cecelia finds a letter from her husband saying to open it after he dies. She debates whether to open it and when she asks him about it he starts to act weird. Once Cecelia learns his secret, she has to decide whether to help him hide it or tell. After I learned more about the secret I kind of just wanted the book to be over. And then the hot cross buns talk, I wanted to gouge my eyes out.
I think if I hadn't read the other book recently, I maybe would have liked this one more.
