Domonique (0 KP) rated The Husband's Secret in Books
May 12, 2018
This was so good, I couldn't stop reading because I had to know what happened. The secret was so unexpected, so much different than I thought, which is why I didn't see it coming. But after finding out the secret, the whole dynamic of the book changed and if possible, got even better.
I loved the characters and how their lives all intersected with each other. Secrets can make or break a person and it's amazing how one simple act can change the course of so many lives. Liane Moriarty is a great writer, her words just flow so effortlessly. I could read her books all day!

Superb read! Well written, with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. This book has action, suspense, intrigue, and tension. Theo is the rightful Queen of Astrea and she is willing to do anything to take it back. Theo is gritty, clever, determined, ready to do whatever to help her friends and her people. There are several twists and turns, and the ending is amazing. Blaise, Soren, Cress, Artemesia, Heron I fell in love with all of them. I cannot wait for the second book in the series! I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from Netgalley.

My dad won’t stop watching this movie
I saw it when I first came out. Good date movie, but my boyfriend and I agreed that while the music is very good, it does not fit the time period of the story being told. Especailly the song “Never Enough”, the renoun surrounding the greatest soprano in Europe and she’s singing a simplistic pop ballad when she should be singing an aria. I love Pasek and Paul, and I think the cinematography is amazing and I love the blocking in the song between Efron and Jackman. But the verisimilitude was not there because of the incongruity of the songs and the story.

Since I'm home, sick with the flu, I decided to watch both Fyre Festival documentaries.
This was the one I watched first, and it focused more on the setup of the festival itself. It was kind of amazing to watch the clusterf*** from the inside, and it was kind of humorous. It was interesting, and a complete train wreck. I really hope that d-bag that was in charge of it didn't profit from it at all, because that'd be really messed up.
I do find it hard to sympathize with all of the rich kids and ridiculous 'influencers'. If it seems too good to be true, it is.

This book....this book is just fantastically written. I had no idea what it was about or hadn't heard anything about it before I picked it up because of the cover. Am I so glad that I did.
Enemies to lovers, mythology, and bloody battles are just some of the amazing things you will find in these pages. The best part? It doesn't leave you with a gigantic cliffhanger. Basically if you enjoy anything I listed above. ^^^ you will love this book. The writing and flow mash with a plot that is so wonderfully written you won't feel bored.
One of the best 2018 books I have read. Highly recommend!

Funny and heartwarming
So went and saw Shazam! last night and you know what I FREAKING LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT! Seriously it was funny, heartwarming and an all around amazing movie! I went in not knowing what to expect since Shazam! is the first superhero movie I've ever seen that I knew nothing about the character ahead of time. Definitely my favorite recent DC movie❤⚡? and that is saying something because I adored Wonder Woman and really enjoyed Aquaman. I'm really glad that DC movies finally seem to be finding their stride because it has been a long time coming.

The Gypsy Rose and DeeDee Munchhausen by proxy documentaries are numerous, and I found it very interesting that Hulu produced a dramatization of the story. The series started really strong, I devoured the first three episodes one right after another, but then, the waiting game.
This series was probably 3 episodes too long, episodes 6 and 7 felt like straight up filler, and should have been combined. Patricia Arquette was amazing as DeeDee, the thin veneer of kindness over her abusive behavior was really brilliant.
Of course, if you've ever watched a documentary about this, you know how it ends, but it's still an entertaining series (excluding eps 6 and 7).

fantastic read
This is the second book in this series by this author. In this book the characters grab a hold of your heart even more. You go through lots of highs and lows with them through out this book. Same amazing well written characters as the first book. This book continues where book one "Privilege" finishes and you must read them as a series. This story is emotional, so have the tissues at the ready, your going to need them. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
