I tried two times to read this book just couldn't get into it.
I couldn't get into this novel at all. I found it very disjointed
I've just discovered Liane Moriarity with What Alice Forgot. I'm looking forward to reading Big Little Lies! I love her writing style and do enjoy all her many varied and well-defined characters. I'm definitely adding her to my eBookshelf!!
And now I want to ask -- what do comment 1 about a sham artist named Papa Justus and comment 3 with a link to some "philosopher" have to do with this interview, the author, Goodreads or this discussion in general?? Hopefully these comments and this comment will be deleted ASAP. Thank you!
I agree with Sherry. Is someone asleep at the switch? The author of the comment obviously can't read nor write. They don't belong on this site, take a hike!
I enjoyed The Husband's Secret which I bought on impulse in a pop-up bookshop where I was helping out. I look forward to reading more of of Liane Moriaty's books.
Yes, Sherry and Emily, those comments are very odd. Have either of you clicked on the 'flag' link to sound the alert?
Wendy -- I must say I've never noticed the "flag" option. So I have now flagged the link to the "philosopher." I also see that the first comment has been removed. This is good.

I'm glad they've done that, Sherry. I tried to flag it and all I got was an error message saying the resource wasn't available! Glad it's been sorted. :-)
Just finished Big Little Lies and loved it! Talk about a page-turner! I was so desperate to find out who died, but I didn't want to skip ahead. I feel very virtuous that I waited (Santa, are you listening? LOL!).
This is next on my list of books to read! I read The Husband's Secret when it was released, which was my first exposure to Moriarty. I really enjoyed her style and storytelling ability, so after finishing Secret I read What Alice Forgot, The Last Anniversary, and Three Wishes. All were great, although I think Secret was the best of that list. I'm looking forward to reading Big Little Lies as well as future novels by Moriarty!
This book has become my new favorite, it is the only book I've happily read twice.
The Husband's Secret, Big Little Lies and What Alice Forgot are the best books I've read in years! I love Liane Moriarty's inventive story lines too--and can't wait to get my hands on her first two novels. Great interview too!
I haven't gotten a chance to read these yet, but I definitely look forward to it. They sound really interesting!
The best read I've had in a long time. I can't wait to see it translated to film! Such a gripping story line.
Wonderful book. I think it's the best of 2014, hands down, and was sad when it didn't win. I was terrified wondering who would die, but that ending... perfect.
It's also cool that she mentions her sister here; I first looked up Liane because I was such an avid fan of Jaclyn Moriarty. Jaclyn's books meant everything to me as an adolescent, and Liane's mean everything as an adult (though her children's series is great too). If my work is ever compared to either of theirs, I'll probably die happy.

Just finished Big Little Lies. You are the author I wish I was.
I really wish Goodreads would stop posting these items to my homepage. This might be a fine author, but she has nothing to do with my reading preferences, and these pointless suggestions are really cluttering my homepage. Make it stop!
I gave "Big Little Lies" five stars. As Dennis says, it feels a little disjointed at first. But it isn't. Everything fits in. The characters are varied and interesting, the events are sad and funny, and the surprise near the end was worth waiting for.
I loved to book, I read it in 2 days! The husbands Secret is still my favourite though
Big Little Lies is not the kind of gossipy, suburban-secret, pop-lit kind of book I favor, but this one won me over with sheer readability. It covers many characters, many themes, and also includes a murder mystery concerning which you guess not whodunit until the final chapter, but also whogotit and why. Very involving, very surprising, and also a fascinating glimpse of Australian middle-class life and to what extent it mirrors the American the American version. I've heard it's her best, but am tempted to try the others.
