The Husband's Secret by Liane MoriartyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I bought a couple of easy novels for when the baby came, hoping to read some easy things on maternity leave. Moriarty fit the bill exactly, and this book did exactly what it was supposed to do - entertain me the way Grey's Anatomy does.
The book starts with a happily married woman finding a letter her husband doesn't mean for her to find unless he dies. Except he is not dead - just on a business trip. But she reads it and learns a terrible secret about his past. Two other women are introduced in subsequent chapters - one whose husband is leaving her, and the other who still mourns a little girl she lost many years ago.
As the story unfolds - at a brisk, beach-reading pace, these three women's lives intersect. The resolution, if not predictable, does tie up the loose ends, both of the plot, as well as of the characters' lives. I had a good time with this book and look forward to another by her.

How does this and the girl on the train get the same score? From your review...very different quality writing.
Also, as a reader, how many 5 stars have you given out over the years?
