From the author of Nine Perfect Strangers, Truly Madly Guilty, and The Husband’s Secret comes 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.
Hey, TW on this book for domestic violence and rape.
This is the first full book I read to finish on my new Kobo Clara; I like the device and all the neat stuff it has on it to make reading books better. However, the one thing it can't do is make "humorous" books about domestic violence, rape, and parents being shitheads to others' kids more enjoyable. Despite the funny little comments from the sometimes clueless parents in between the goings-on, it just felt like a total slog after about a quarter of the way in, and even more so at about 60%. I kept skipping pages about 5 at a time about jumped 10 chapters cause ugggh. 2.5 stars.
