WW Book Club Discussion - The Husband's Secret

I loved it. I actually read it last summer but listened to the audio version when it was chosen for this month. It was very thought-provoking.

I'd rate the book a 4. I really enjoyed it and I'm a huge fan now of Liana Moriarty after this and Little Big Lies!

Yay!

I give it a 4. I really enjoyed it and I could not put it down.

Yay, book club!!!

I think I'd give it a 3. It was definitely a page turner, and it flows pretty quickly. The story was interesting, and I grew to like a few characters. I was genuinely intrigued for most of the book.

I really liked it, I would say 4 too.

I found it a bit slow to start and felt myself rushing over the words a little. But once I got midway, I got really invested and by close to the end I was in love with this book and couldn't stop myself from reading it! The ending/epilogue was a highlight for me, I really loved how they finished the story and talked about what could have been.

My god though, I was shocked about Polly. Didn't see that coming.

I rated it a 3, but I did really like it. I believe it was a 3 and not a 4 because it reminded me of a Lifetime movie, but a really good lifetime movie that I couldn't stop watching. Haha.

I rated it as a 4 as well - I really enjoyed it.

Overall, I felt like I could relate to all 3 ladies in some way...Cecelia's need to be perfect & dependable at all times, Rachel smiling on the inside will secretly suffering and Tess' destructive behavior as a way to cope with being hurt. It made for a really insightful read.

I love this book! I would give it a 5. Definitely a page turner! Has anyone read "nobody has sex on a tuesday". I randomly bought this book at the Norway airport and read it on the flight home! Easy read.

I also agree with Mrs. Goose, in that it took me awhile to really get into the book. I still give the book a 4 because once I got into the book it was a real pageturner.

I gave it 3 stars, but I really enjoyed it. It was a fun quick read and reminded me how much I like chick lit every now and then.

I didn't realized until I finished it, but I've read two other books by the same author.

I would give it a 4. The end completely got me. He didn't really kill her, it was her heart! I agree that at the beginning I was getting confused with the constant jumping between characters and story lines, but when I finally started putting them all together and figuring out how each was connected, I got hooked.

I really liked during the epilogue how it went into the "what could've beens"

Yes! The ending and how it all came together really got me. With Polly, hearing more about Janie and how she really died...gah. So drama. I wanted to hear more!

Loved the book. Give it a 4.

@Katy I know, I Polly thing really got me too!! If her dad wasn't so insane she would've been an accomplished tennis star

I was just like NOOOOO Why didn't they do an autopsy!! hhahaha

Interesting. I give the book a 3. I hated the epilogue! It almost killed the story for me, as I found it dismissive to the rest of the plot. I enjoyed some of the characters, but some of it was a little campy/chicks for me. Tess's storyline was my favorite.

The epilogue was so interesting! It made me feel even worse about Polly and I also wondered if Janie's family would have had more closure/less pain if she had been home (or on the bus?) and died there, from that genetic disorder she had.

ETA: I also liked Tess better not sure if I would have also had the crazy affair with the PE teacher, lol, but otherwise I liked her way better.

I know, VM! Of course you would do an autopsy on a young girl that died! Didn't they say her mom just didn't want an extensive autopsy? I feel like Rachel was a little neurotic though. Am I the only one?

Ummm I didn't know there was a book club! Say what???
