From Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling novel about the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.
A murder...A tragic accident...Or just parents behaving badly? What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.
Madeline
is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny, biting, and passionate;
she remembers everything and forgives no one. Celeste is the kind of
beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare but she is paying a
price for the illusion of perfection. New to town, single mom Jane is so
young that another mother mistakes her for a nanny. She comes with a
mysterious past and a sadness beyond her years.
These three women are at different crossroads, but they will all wind up in the same shocking place.
Big Little Lies
is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and
daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the little lies that can turn lethal.
"Big Little Lies is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Liane Moriarty is a great author and I would suggest this book for anyone who enjoys a good novel about PTA mothers who are all up in each other's business. I haven't seen the HBO movie Big Little Lies but I can't imagine it's better than the book. Moriarty knows how to reel the reader in and as is the case with many of her books she is a master at the plot twist. I loved this book! And of course, Caroline Lee is an awesome narrator." - Julie
