Argh, there is one particular branch of this story that I really did not like. I kept debating on whether I should just DNF because I reckon the mystery wasn't that particularly hard to guess but that little twist on the last page made it worth my persistence on finishing.

The Husband's Secret was a favourite read in 2013, I also really enjoyed What Alice Forgot and Big Little Lies, but The Last Anniversary ... not so much.

Great reading, but at times it moved a little bit slow. Hanging out to find out the answer to the mystery. Loved most of the characters and it is an important illustration of issues such as post natal depression, insecurities, how not everything is as it seems and how an incident can influence people generations down the track.

I only got part way through the book before realising I didn't care about any of the characters. I didn't care about the pathetic "mystery". Too many words saying very little. It was going nowhere. I was totally bored. There are plenty of more interesting books out there waiting for me to read.

A nicely done mix of humor and family melodrama set in Australia.
