Product Information

The discovery of the letter will change everything not just for Cecilia, but for Rachel and Tess: women who don’t know each other, but will feel the consequences of her husband’s secret. Her attempt to bring everything full circle at the end feels a bit forced, primarily just because she's given herself so much to wrap up, but she still manages to drop a few last-minute twists into the mix in a way that actually feels surprising. Topaz, a teenage girl, is encouraging the workers to revolt, but the Commander wants Nicola and her friends to help quench the flames of the uprising. It is beautifully written and structured, and it was such a delight to have these characters in my life for a couple of days - characters that I'm most definitely going to miss and reflect back on in the upcoming weeks. Convenient coincidences and a general predictability don't distract too much from the sassy pleasures.

In an attempt to dampen the boy’s spirits, the psychiatrist showed him into a room piled high with nothing but horse manure. The book length is a bit hefty, but as in Big Little Lies, I knew that the various revelations would not come until the very end.The Space Brigade accept the mission, only to be shocked by the sight of slaves being forced to mine for mashmallow and drill for chocolate on the planet. Just the very title of The Husband's Secret had me rolling my eyes, and while it was a little far fetched and too relationship-oriented for me to take seriously, I didn't hate it. I don’t know if things weren’t quite as PC back in 2004, but these days it’s in pretty poor taste to toss around that slur as an insult to those you think have diminished mental capacities.

Her books seem right up my alley, how could I have not read Big Little Lies, or The Husband's Secret? Moriarty is usually great at tying up all the loose ends at the end, but this one is left open ended which I didn't enjoy as much. Princess Petronella finds herself in charge after the King and Queen of the planet Globagaskar go for a vacation. A professional hypnotherapist, Ellen O’Farrell works from the beachfront home she inherited from her grandparents. Bottom line, while I still managed to keep turning pages I didn’t feel invested at all in any of these people’s lives and when the already used “memory lapse” trope was drug out for a second book, I couldn’t help but feel .I really liked the story and the audio performance though it was sometimes difficult to initially identify when the story was transitioning. I have a feeling she's going to become one of my favorite authors and a go-to recommendation for people who don't know what to read next. Despite my determination to stay upbeat, I can see why the book received a lukewarm reception from some readers.

NOTE: A GR friend clarified that some jurisdictions allow psychologists to prescribe meds, depending on if they received extra training in pharmacology. I put myself on the waiting list for Truly Madly Guilty at both libraries as soon as I finished my first Moriarty book, and I’m still 71st in line at the main branch if that is any indication on how popular this author has become. TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY is a compelling read that made me think and to me that makes for an incredible reading experience.

When she’s not writing she can be found reading, demanding coffee, being taken for a brisk walk by her Labrador, skiing like she’s thirty years younger than she is, recovering from skiing injuries, talking to old friends about getting old, and begging her children for help with technology. Erika had a difficult shame-filled childhood with her mother Sylvia, a narcissistic and delusional hoarder.

My kids are still in school, so the mommy-wars aspect tickled me, and since I worked as a background actor in the movie BAD MOMS (along with my then-12 yr old son), it was even more fun - and yet had some very deep issues within it. This is about 3 couples and how they react and cope with something that happens at a BBQ one afternoon. In this book, she took three couples in suburbia and threw them together at a barbecue that would change their course in life forever. Clearly something important happened between Erika and Clementine's families, but the snoozeworthy-pacing, as the novel jumps between the day of the barbecue and the present, killed off most of my curiosity. I read when I come home from work at night and lookd forward to getting back into my book when the night is over.afterall, the hush hush event is brought up over and over and over again and appears to be something horrendously taboo based on how the characters continue to refer to it. I knew that it had been nominated for best fiction of 2016 on Goodreads (which is why I bought it), but I did not know the author and I did not know much about the story. The most exasperating factor for me, however, was the foreshadowing that felt artificial and forced for the first 200+ pages. The time frames jump around unexpectedly which caused me on occasion to have to read back a little to ascertain where and with whom I was currently with, making the transitions appear somewhat jarring.
