If you found a letter addressed to you with instructions that you weren’t to open it until a certain event had happened, would you go ahead and read it anyway? Well, that’s the basis of this novel. It intertwines the lives of three families when one of the main characters finds a letter addressed to her by her husband, to be read only upon his death. So does she read the letter (he’s still alive)? What’s in this letter?
The novel deals with how life can hinge on a misunderstanding or a decision made in haste and the consequences it can have. It deals with putting all the pieces of a puzzle together plus an action that brings everything out into the open. I enjoyed this book. I had read Liane Moriarty’s newest book, Big Little Liars, so I decided to read some of her earlier works. Glad I did.
