I don't think that this is my favorite Liane Moriarty novel, but that's not to say that I didn't enjoy it. I must be getting old, because again I had problems keeping track of who was who during the first few chapters.
Efficient, organized Cecilia is married to handsome John Paul Fitzgerald and together they have 3 daughters. Life seem idyllic until Cecilia finds a letter written by John Paul to be opened after his death. John Paul is every much alive, but can Cecilia resist opening the letter to discover her husband's secret?
Tess arrives at her mother's house with son Liam just after husband Will and her cousin and best friend Felicity have revealed that they have fallen madly (but chastely) in love and want to live together. As business partners, Tess, Will, and Felicity spend nearly every day together, so this revelation changes every aspect of the life Tess thought she was living. Meeting old love Connor Whitby makes Tess question herself and her commitment to her marriage.
Eleanor, a widow, mourns the unsolved murder of her daughter Janie. At 17 Janie was strangled in a local park and Eleanor believes that Connor Whitby is the guilty party. Elanor's husband was away at the time of Janie's murder.
Moriarty's little asides about what was happening behind the scenes throughout the novel add an extra touch of interest to the story. They put the reader in a position of know more about the story than the characters themselves. I imagine that some might feel that the process of tying up loose ends is a bit contrived, but I liked it. Overall, I would recommend it!
