Big Little Lies

Loved this book!!!

8-15-24 I re watched the series on Max. Then I reread the book. I just love this book, it’s one of my favorites!

Even better than The Husband's Secret

A domestic tale with a suspenseful twist! Even in the downunder setting, this story of moms and housewives is so relatable to moms everywhere.

I always find Liane Moriarty to have written a book that captures your imagination. I love how she is able to turn the most innocent of situations into a twisted mess, and all because of human nature and self need. This book was one of my least favourites of Liane's, but the husband's secret kind of set the bar for me, so whilst it wasn't my favourite Liane book, it was a favourite I have read this year, because she is just so good and getting the pages to turn themselves. Really interesting story and would recommend to anyone look for a book with strong characters and storyline.

Very quick and fun read. The author's choice to have a interview statements from after the crime sprinkled throughout the book could have gone badly with a poorer writer, but Liane Moriarty has the right touch to use them to keep us guessing and salivating over the next chapters. The characters are over the top enough to make us smile, but true enough to remind us of all the mother cliques at schools and after-school activities.

So heavy handed, full of stereotypes, and poorly written. so bad it’s good type read
