I just loved this book. It kept me hooked basically from the beginning, and I was actually glad when I could just divine what was going to happen next, not because it was predictable, but because when it dawned on me, it just made perfect sense how the entire story was weaved. This is the second book of Liane Moriarty that I read and I definitely intend to read more, I liked this one even better than Big Little Lies. With all this said, and because there's always something I like the least - I was expecting a more explosive finale and I don't really understand the logic of the Tess storyline (as interesting as it is on its own) in relation to the rest of the story.

The three stories of three women, coming together in unexpected ways. Te story bounces from point of view to point of view, which I enjoyed. I like being able to see inside each of the protagonists heads and understand what they're feeling and why.
At first, the writer goes off on tangents whilst explaining scenarios, however this is just her style and I actually got used to it after a while.
Stick with this book, it's brilliantly written, and an uplifting story. Will definitely be re-reading this one!

Dit boek begint met 3 vrouwen die allemaal op een kruispunt in hun leven staan, Tess, jonge moeder van Liam, ontdekt de ontrouw van haar man en haar beste vriendin. Rachel, die na de dood van haar dochter eindelijk weer haar liefde kwijt kan bij haar kleinzoon Jacob en Cecilia die een brief vindt van haar man, met de mededeling dat ze die moet openen na zijn dood. Alleen is hij nog erg in leven. Drie generaties vrouwen waarvan de levens op de een of andere manier met elkaar in aanraking komen. Geschreven met veel humor, maar eigenlijk zijn het allemaal ernstige onderwerpen. Wat moet je doen als je moet kiezen tussen eerlijkheid en trouw? Tussen je gezin en de waarheid? Moet je je vast klemmen aan een vooringenomen idee en van uit die gedachte reageren? Heel erg fijn om te lezen en over na te denken.
You find an old sealed letter that your husband wrote to you to be opened only in the event if his death, you mention that you found it and he asks you to please not read it … what do you do? Some truths are better left in a sealed envelope … I liked it
