A great entertaining read. Perfect for sunny days on the beach or fresh Autumn windy days or maybe dark cold winter nights wrapped up on the couch. OK ! To be honest this is just a great read anytime anywhere.


" They say its 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" (Quote from Big Little Lies)

I really enjoyed this Novel and don't think I will be able to stand at the school gates and look at parents in the same light again.

This is a novel of unraveling personal secrets among a group of suburban Kindergarten parents. From the beginning, the reader is aware of some tragedy at a school fund raiser that has prompted a police investigation. But, we do not learn of the victim’s identity or the exact nature of the situation until near the end of the book. Rather, we are treated to six months of tension and school politics, of family drama and individual anxieties, of misperceptions and deliberate deception among this ver ...more

How fun to have read so many really GOOD books this summer! This is another one about the weird world of helicopter parents, a term I had never heard until Kim moved to Baltimore, and she explained it to me. I am so glad we raised our children in the time we did in the area we did; life was so much easier. We didn't worry about our kids like these parents do; we trusted them to work out their own problems, and they didn't expect us to jump in and rescue them from their mistakes. They knew we wer ...more

A few weeks ago, the hubby was working an overnight shift so I had the house to myself. I was desperately looking for a new show to watch. I found Big Little Lies and had heard such good things about it, I gave the first episode a shot. Then promptly learned I needed the book ASAP. I picked it up at work a few days later and didn't want it to e

Great fun book to read. Having lived in Australia and put a child trough "prep" over there, I found some of the references quite hilarious. A murder is committed but the reader doesn't know who did it or who actually got killed. About 75% into the book though, the story changes and what seemed mostly odd/light/funny events and situations, becomes something much more deeper and darker. ...more

I absolutely LOVED this book! I was completely captivated. The story kept me guessing all the way up until the very end. It's a quick read and incredibly hard to put down. This is the first book I have ever read of this author, can't wait to get my hands on more of her stuff!! ...more

This novel has been getting lots of attention so I thought I'd give it a go. It did take me quite a while to get through the first 150 pages or so, but the story gained steam after that. At times it was a little difficult keeping track of who the characters were and which husband and which child(ren) went with whom. Each of the women portrayed had their issues, but they weren't as cliched as I thought they would be. There were definitely some deeper issues that would make this book a good jumpin ...more
