Kate’s 2¢: “The Husband’s Secret” by Liane Moriarty

“The Husband’s Secret” by Liane Moriarty

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I found the introduction of so many characters right in the beginning, a bit confusing. Of course, as the story unfolded, Who belonged with whom emerged. It is always interesting how the author weaves the individual connections with each other into a wonderful narrative.

   Martha Harmon-Pardee is one of my all-time favorite readers and she did a great job with “The Husband’s Secret”. A story I recommend.
