The Husband's Secret

I cannot recommend The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty.  DUMB book; Dopey characters; Absurd situations—I was hoping for profound, thought-provoking, and complex. I got contrived, cliched, banal, unimaginative, pedestrian, uninspired . . . Ah, this Amazon review says it best:
"What a disappointment. In fairness, I couldn't bear to finish this book. Gossipy, petty, predictable, and shallow. If you don't like to watch Dr. Phil or Jerry Springer, steer clear."
I did manage to plow through to the end because I downloaded the electronic version from the library and only had 14 days to finish reading it. It was the most disappointing and hackneyed ending of a book I have ever read!
