Book #28 of 2016. 
 Every now and then I need a girly book, and I really enjoyed Moriarty's "Big Little Lies," and there was a copy of "The Husband's Secret" for $0.01 on Amazon, so I figured, "Why not?" 
 "The Husband's Secret" lacks the interesting narrative structure of "Big Little Lies," or more accurately, it attempts to do something interesting, but it never quite gets there. (view spoiler)[ What was the purpose of all of the Berlin Wall flashbacks? (hide spoiler)]. The plot is fairly straightforward. 
 To be completely honest, I probably dipped this book down to 3 stars rather than 4 because the people whom I wanted to get together did not. However, I understand the reason they did not. It's just that I wanted a bit more escapism and a little less reality in my literature this time around. Oh well.
