Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Did I enjoy this book: It was a decent read.

(I’m not going to go into great detail in this review. If I do, I will likely give away parts of the story and possibly the outcome. I don’t want to do that. So, this review will be a bit vague.)

It’s Always the Husband kept me guessing from beginning to end. I didn’t particularly care for any of the characters. I really didn’t. But the story kept me reading. I had to know the ending. I had to. I wasn’t expecting the story to unfold the way it did.

 

 

Would I recommend it: Yes, if someone asked me about it first.

 

About the book – from Goodreads: Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny. They first met as college roommates and soon became inseparable, even though they are as different as three women can be. Twenty years later, one of them is standing at the edge of a bridge . . and someone else is urging her to jump.

How did things come to this?

As the novel cuts back and forth between their college years and their adult years, you see the exact reasons why these women love and hate each other—but can feelings that strong lead to murder? Or will everyone assume, as is often the case, that it’s always the husband?
