laurieb755 's review for:
Big Little Lies
by Liane Moriarty
I finished this book over a week ago and it has been percolating in my thoughts. What began (and remained) as a book filled with curiously engaging people (and some who simply made me laugh - a good laugh, not a scathing one) wound up surprising the heck out of me as the story progressed. I could not put this book down, though the further I read, the more I winced.
Liane Moriarty paints pictures of people that go enough beyond caricatures as to seem real. And I particularly enjoyed the style she used of interspersing the story with snippets from the interviews, and beginning with the story with the scene just before the climax (which you don't find out till much later) and then backing up to several months beforehand and telling the story from there.
This book, and the topic it addresses, demand of the reader that they pay attention. And I paid attention, and the topic wouldn't leave my mind. I found the resolution quite satisfying.
