It starts with the incident at Nick and Lisa’s wedding, but looking into the lives (past and present) of everyone things start to be revealed to the reader. And honestly, in a healthy relationship, it shouldn't be that you couldn't live without each other — it should be that you prefer not to. You’ve looked through more greeting cards than you can count, and they just don’t quite convey the loving message you want to express to him. Caroline England played her ace and I gasped out loud and sat open mouthed as I read the final scenes. At that point the whole 'alternating point of view narration' only made it more confusing, but that wore off as the book progressed, and My Husband’s Lies became intriguing.

This is what you get when you have a group of friends that have been through so much together and you know all their secrets.

I look at you, and I still get butterflies… There’s nothing in the world I’d rather look at and no one else’s company I’d rather have.

Curious to find out more, I embarked on a mission to hear from men with first-hand experience of the rules of cuckolding. It's abusive when they speak over you or for you when out in public, as if you're so incompetent you can't do it on your own. If you press him to schedule a time for you two to talk privately, he resists being pinned down or being made to sacrifice a chunk of his precious free time. On finishing I felt bereft, I needed to know more, but 'more' doesn't matter in the context of this whopping finale.It’s the afternoon of Nick and Lisa’s wedding, and Nick’s childhood friends are there to help him celebrate. There’s been plenty of jealousy though, especially when my girlfriend and I started out with cuckolding. Maybe because I read it all at one go, I don't know but I was trawled up into the secrets and lies and desperate to know how it was all going to turn out. That shocking finale for me actually felt slightly anti-climatic in nature and I could see it coming a mile off. MY HUSBAND’S LIES by Caroline England is a noir thriller, rich on drama exploring many issues such as adultery, lies and deceit and sexuality and “husband lies".
