Sometimes it’s the little lies that turn out to be the most lethal. . . .

A murder… . . . a tragic accident… . . . or just parents behaving badly?
What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.
But who did what?

Big Little Lies follows three women, each at a crossroads:

Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny and biting, passionate, she remembers everything and forgives no one. Her ex-husband and his yogi new wife have moved into her beloved beachside community, and their daughter is in the same kindergarten class as Madeline’s youngest (how is this possible?). And to top it all off, Madeline’s teenage daughter seems to be choosing Madeline’s ex-husband over her. (How. Is. This. Possible?).

Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn’t be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now that the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the king and queen of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price, and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay.

New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for the nanny. Jane is sad beyond her years and harbors secret doubts about her son. But why? While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realizes how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all.

Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.

5.0 Big Little Lies
Reece Witherspoon recommended this book on Twitter a long time ago. So I had to read it because she is Elle Woods.And I loved it. I feel like I'm really late to the game for this one, it was interesting, engaging and for once I didn't guess the ending. (Well I guessed part of the ending but not the ...

4.5 Halloween Bingo 2018: Murder Most Foul
I had already seen the tv series and spoiled all of the reveals for myself. Note to others: always read the book first! That said, it was easy to picture the characters :) This book was still riveting and hits you hard with its realistic portrayal of life in suburbia and all of the little ugly truth...

Five starsThree women with nothing in common except being kindergarten moms. They each have their story, and they each have a part to play in the events that unfold. I didn't guess who did it until it was happening and I couldn't overlook it. One person was going to die, and one person was going to ...

5.0 Big Little Lies
I wanted to read the book before I watched the TV series, mainly out of exasperation that the location was changed from the Northern Beaches in Sydney, Australia to somewhere in the US. I don't believe that US audiences are so stunted that they can't accept and understand a great story containing un...
