Big Little Lies
By Liane Moriarty @lianemoriarty_official
Blurb
Perfect families, perfect houses, perfect lives.
Three mothers, Jane, Madeline, and Celeste appear to have it all, until they find out just how easy it is for one little lie to spiral out of control . . .
Single mum Jane has just moved to town. She's got her little boy in tow - plus a secret she's been carrying for five years.
On the first day of the school run she meets Madeline - a force to be reckoned with, who remembers everything and forgives no one - and Celeste, the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare, but is inexplicably ill at ease.
They both take Jane under their wing - while careful to keep their own secrets under wraps.
But a minor incident involving the children of all three women rapidly escalates: playground whispers become spiteful rumours until no one can tell the truth from the lies . . .
It was always going to end in tears, but how did it end in murder?
I listened to the audio version of this book, 15 hours and 55 minutes. I haven't watched the TV adaptation of the book so I was going in with no preempt ideas.
At first when I started listening I didn't enjoy the sound of the bitchiness between the female characters, I found them irritating and annoying. Also the constant references to their appearance and looks grated on me but then I realised that this was a key focus that weaved in to the truth behind each characters back story, then the emotions were unveiled, the drama and theatrics were released and important voices began to be heard.
This is a bitchy but clever tale that is compact with blame and guilt, love and betrayal, forgiveness and retribution, a vivid read indeed!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me! 🤓
