The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty

I haven't read any of Moriarty's books before, but after reading this one, I will definitely read her others. It's the story of 3 women whose lives intersect after one of them finds a letter from her husband to be read after his death. She reads the letter while he is till alive and this sets off a series of events that cause her to rethink her whole marriage and it greatly impacts the lives of the other women.

The author made the characters seem multi-dimensional and thus very real in spite of the extraordinary situations they find themselves in. They all face moral dilemmas, and it's interesting to read how they handle that. One main theme that is repeated throughout the story is what a parent will do to protect his or her children.

This was a great read. I couldn't put it down. I don't think I would have reacted the same way the characters did, but it was fascinating to read about them.
