Reading Liane Moriarty is like spending the afternoon with a wise, witty, comforting friend. I could not put it down!" -Beth Harbison, author of Always Something there to Remind Me " What Alice Forgot grabbed me on the first page and pulled me into Alice's life.

It's a knowing, touching, and entertaining page-turner. What a wonderful writer-smart, wise, funny." -Anne Lamott "Liane Moriarty ( What Alice Forgot ) is far more than the skillful writer of potboilers. Her compelling characters could be your friends and neighbors, nice and neurotic in equal doses. . . . Amid three intertwined story lines and terrific plot twists, Moriarty presents a nuanced and moving portrait of the meaning of love, both marital and familial, and how life can hinge on a misunderstanding or a decision made in haste.

On second thought, maybe readers should let this rather crafty novelist''s deceptive breeziness and humor sweep them along. It makes the shocks just that much more deliciously nasty, including the gob-smacking twist in the epilogue. . . . The genius of The Husband''s Secret is that it makes us start to wonder what in our own lives would-or would not-have happened if, say, we had waited just five more minutes before we walked out the door, had not said that hurtful thing, had applied a bit of logic to that situation." - Bookpage "Secrets can be sinister; they can eat you alive.
