What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty

Okay, I read another Liane Moriarty book. It was available for download at the library and I didn’t want to wait for it to be ready again.

This one I liked a lot — So much so that I stayed up until 3 am to nearly finish it the night before last.

One more Liane Moriarty book to go before I have read all of her books.

So what if I’m not reading high literature. So what if it is “escape”. I am reading again. I am me again.

Me Before You by JoJo Moyes

I was looking for something to watch and I found the film Me Before You. I started watching it and then searched for it to figure out where it was filmed. When I saw that it was also a book I downloaded it from the library and began reading it instead of watching it.

I really enjoyed it — both the book and the movie — and now I want to read the rest in the series.

The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty

Confession: I think I am tiring of Moriarty.  I liked this book less than I liked her others.

The Husband’s Secret tells the story of Cecilia who discovers a terrible thing about her husband, Rachel who’s still in mourning for her daughter who was murdered at age 15, decades before the book takes place, and Tessa whose husband and cousin claim they have fallen in love.

This book was not quite as plot-driven as her other books. In this book the mystery is told earlier in the book, rather than later. Instead of leading up to the revelation of the secret, the story is more about the effects of the secret on those involved, whether or not they know the secret.

I think I am going to give Moriarty a rest for a while.
