Description
A murder . . . a tragic accident . . . or just parents behaving badly?
What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.
But who did what?
Big Little Lies follows three women, each at a crossroads:
Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny and biting, passionate, she remembers everything and forgives no one. Her ex-husband and his yogi new wife have moved into her beloved beachside community, and their daughter is in the same kindergarten class as Madeline’s youngest (how is this possible?). And to top it all off, Madeline’s teenage daughter seems to be choosing Madeline’s ex-husband over her. (How. Is. This. Possible?).
Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare. While she may seem a bit flustered at times, who wouldn’t be, with those rambunctious twin boys? Now that the boys are starting school, Celeste and her husband look set to become the king and queen of the school parent body. But royalty often comes at a price, and Celeste is grappling with how much more she is willing to pay.
New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for the nanny. Jane is sad beyond her years and harbors secret doubts about her son. But why? While Madeline and Celeste soon take Jane under their wing, none of them realizes how the arrival of Jane and her inscrutable little boy will affect them all.
Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the dangerous little lies we tell ourselves just to survive.

At first i thought this book will bored me out like all other overhype book out there but it notIts very interesting and easy readThe humor the sadness the gloominess all are convey really wellI like the author A very good read for me
3.5 Stars“They say it's good to let your grudges go, but I don't know, I'm quite fond of my grudge. I tend it like a little pet.”I don't really know what to say.... I actually watched the show when it came out, so I actually knew what was going to happen whilst reading the book. The main characters: Jane, Celeste and Madeline were loveable and entertaining. I loved how the book showed different perspectives of these characters, just like the show did. Reading the book was just like watching the show all over again, however I don't think Harper was incredibly annoying in the show as she was in the book. Overall, I think I enjoyed the show a little more than the book, but it was an enjoyable read.
