it just was not giving. it was pmo. characterization was too much and too normal so it wasnt interesting.
Loved this book. Loved the realness, the shallowness and the pettiness of the characters.
Loved the way that the book was funny and yet managed to tackle some serious issues alongside it. I struggled to put this down just because I loved the way it was written in such a casual yet gripping tone. Definitely one I'd recommend.

Great book. Surprise in there that I didn't see coming!
I have a theory that when books are really authentic and good it takes me longer to read bc it hurts so bad to read. It goes without saying that I'm an empath.
That being said I LOVED the way this was written. It was mysterious, hilarious, and real. Do I wish there were a few more twists earlier in the book? Yes. Am I about to resubscribe to HBO Max so I can watch the show? Also yes.

WOW! I couldn’t seem to put this book down. The characters were so engaging and complicated. I loved the hints and details sprinkles throughout. I thought I had it all figured out but the twist made me audibly gasp!! So well done. The last 50 pages really suck you in and I ended up staying up late to finish this. I’m looking forward to how this translates to the show (I was waiting to finish the book). I absolutely recommend!

:: 5 Pretty Little Stars ::
This is probably one of the best books I have ever read. I was truly captivated throughout the whole story trying to figure out what was going to happen that I had a hard time putting it down -and the book is nearly 500 pages! Just…WOW. There were so many things going on in this book that my mind was truly baffled (but in a good way) the whole way through. Everything about it though is on point. The writing style is phenomenal, the plot if thick and rich, and the conclusion is satisfying. If you haven’t had a chance to read this one GET IT. It’s amazing!
The story follows the lives of three different women as they navigate the playground of their children’s school. While this part of the storyline is quite hilarious (as you get to see the parents misbehaving and the crazy antics that go on between battling moms) there are some secrets and lies laying beneath the surface that will really get readers thinking. Madeline for instance is having problems with her teenage daughter, Celeste is keeping a dark secret from everyone and will do almost anything to keep it a secret, and poor Jane is being ridiculed by other moms because of her age and the fact that they all believe her son is a bully. Each of these women luckily have each other to lean on but keeping these secrets is hard… and sometimes these secrets lead to murder.
Overall, this is a fantastically written story that is witty, sassy, humorous, thrilling, suspenseful, and mysterious. Keeping secrets is hard to do, and Moriarty proves this within this story. I loved how the author is able to successfully turn mundane tasks into big ones, how she is sensitive to topics that may bother some people, and how she successfully weaves the secrets and lies between all the women and brings it together (in a fantastic way I might add) in the end. Gosh, I just loved this one SO MUCH. I am going to pick up the rest of her books now because I have a feeling I have a new favorite author on my hands…
