Big Little Lies
by Liane Moriarty
Liane Moriarty is a new favorite author of mine and her latest novel, Big Little Lies is another reason why. It's the same can't-put-down, laugh-out-loud writing with flawed therefore authentic and lovable characters.
I love Moriarty's style! She is a very much a mystery writer. In this one, she presents an event, Parent Trivia Night where tragedy strikes (this is the vaguest of her mysteries) and then takes you back six months introducing characters, ties, and plot lines building up and weaving people together to the final outcome. This sort of backward unraveling keeps you guessing and interested. I haven't found another author quite like her.
This book doesn't contain the same moral dilemmas as her previous novels (ex: The Husband's Secret) but it does deal with some very heavy issues such as domestic violence, bullying, and mommy wars. Plan the last 70 pages better than I did! Things get very intense and everything explodes. At which point it is very hard to put the book down and go to work!
