book fifty-six: The Husband's Secret

1 February 2015.

Our next book is The Husband's Secret, by Australian author Liane Moriarty. 

We'll met at Leigha and Steve's place.

Tim brought the shortlist.

Scores:

Cherie (Postal Vote): 16  I won't be there (of course!), but will have to weigh in with a score of 16/17, mostly because of the very satisfying way that everything came together in the end. I read this a few months ago, after finishing What Alice Forgot. 
Mari: 6  Pedestrian writing, cloying.  Frothy is ok as long as there's coffee underneath.  The problem with this book is that there isn't any.  It's a babycino.  There's not even any chocolate on top.
Jo: 11  It's not going to change my life but I really enjoyed reading it.
Leigha: 10  Finished it, was interested enough to want to see how it ended, but was disappointed that it was so twee.
James: 8  Didn't bother him as much as it did Mari, but it did feel a bit contrived and forced.  The ending reinforced this.  
Wendy: 14  Enjoyed it.  Accepts it is contrived and tied up too neatly at the end but thought the characters were believable.
Maree: 9
Tim: 14  

Average: 11.0
