Review: Amazing book: Everyone must read this book!!!! - From the very beginning, this book had twists and turns with every page; I couldn’t put the book down! The book starts off with an old lady watching tv in her home near the local school. It was a trivia night at Pewee Elementary, so the streets were very noisy, but soon it gets out of hand so she goes outside to see what is going on when she notices ambulances and police cars. She soons learns that someone at the fundraiser got murdered. From this point on the book becomes a mystery. The author does not tell us who got murdered or who the murderer was. Each page has you changing your guess on who could have done such a thing, and who the victim was. The book focus on three different people; Madylin a mother of two who struggles with her ex living in the same neighborhood. Also that ex has a child in the same grade as her youngest. Celeste: a women who on the outside seems perfect, but what really happens in her house? Then there's Jane a single mom who just moved to the neighborhood, and to make her life even worse on orientation day apparently her son strangled a child. All of these women have children going into kindergarten at Pewee Elementary School; starting this school brings a lot of drama to the kids, teachers, and parents as they go about their daily lives. Madylin is the angry one who isn't afraid to stand up for herself, and her friends. Celeste is the perfect one who struggles with big problems of her own, and then there’s. Jane she is shy, nice, and just looking for a normal life for her and her son. When these three all come together as friends it makes a force to be reckoned with. Their journey through this book is nail biting, and very exciting. As the book goes on it switches between each of these three and their time building up to orientation day. Their lives are not as simple as they appear. Each face problems of their own that the others don’t know about. As friends they stick together and sort through the problems of their lives. On trivia night a lot happens that leaves you guessing till the very end. I highly recommend reading this book every page is a different twist that is shocking. Liane Moriarty did an excellent job writing this book. Her word choice really brings the characters to life, and makes it seem like this book is real. It seems as if this book was written from someone in the town. It tells the characters emotions as well, this is what makes the reader think that this is non fiction instead of fiction. It describes to us a neighborhood like the ones we live in; from having parades, to having that one special coffee shop everything about this books seems realistic. She wrote this book for young adults, and middle aged women. It really portrays that in the way the characters talk. The plot was very well thought out with each situation/conflict described, and resolved. This book can be relatable to some people because of the variety of characters it contains, no two people have the same personality, or thoughts in the book; even some of the kids are relatable! This book was written in shifting first person narration so each chapter switches the character of focus. At first I thought that this would make it confusing, but it doesn’t it helps the plot a lot and lets you see what the everyone is going through not just the main characters. This book is a mystery that keeps you on your toes, you'll never want to put your book down, and you'll never guess what will happen next! Review: A really enjoyable read - Brief summary and review, no spoilers. This novel takes place in a small, suburban coastal town named Pirriwee in Australia and our main cast of characters are the parents of kids in the same kindergarten class at the local elementary school. There is Jane, the youngest of the mothers who is a plain-Jane and very docile and and recently moved to the town with her young son Ziggy. We know that Jane is a single-parent and that she had a bad experience with Ziggy's father. We don't find out the details of that until later on. At the start of the book Jane helps out my favorite character - a woman named Madeline - who has turned her ankle when exiting her car while yelling at another driver texting. Madeline and Jane then become buddies and Madeline becomes Jane's champion at the school and is everything Jane is not - she is popular and outgoing and happily married to her second husband, Ed. Madeline and Ed have a daughter in that same kindergarten class as well as a little boy. Madeline also has a 14 year old daughter named Abigail with her ex-husband Nathan. Nathan has remarried a woman named Bonnie and they have a daughter named Skye in that same kindergarten class. Madeline's best friend, and soon Jane's as well, is a woman named Celeste. Celeste is a natural beauty and is married to her handsome and very-wealthy husband, Perry. They have twin sons who attend the same class. As beautiful and wealthy as Celeste is, we also know she is very unhappy and we soon find out why. There are assorted other people we meet along the way, including a gaggle of gossipy mothers, as well as teachers, administrators and a good-hearted and good-looking coffee shop owner named Tom. From early on we find out that Ziggy is accused of bullying and that this may or may not be true. We see sides taken and open warfare as the mothers from Pirriwee Public battle their way through this first year. We also know from the start - because there are various short "interviews" that we read interspersed in and between chapters - that there was a possible murder that has taken place, and we know that it happens at or about an event called Trivia Night which a yearly event at the school. What we don't know is who ended up dead or why. I really, really enjoyed this book. Summarizing the book in many ways does not do it justice because the book is much more than just a "chick" book about these mothers and their various fights. There are some very serious issues covered here, like domestic abuse and jealousy and the difficulty of being a single-parent which are handled in such a sensitive and smart way. This book is also laugh-out-loud funny and this author has such a great ear for both dialogue and description. I think everyone is going to enjoy the characters in this book and see either ourselves or people we know. Personally, I loved Madeline the best and loved every scene with her. Add to the humor and mystery element a very clever twist, that I did not see coming. Really well-done. I have never read this author before but I will definitely pick up more of her books now. This was really such a kick. Recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #802 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #1 in Australia & Oceania Literature #5 in Women's Divorce Fiction #6 in Psychological Fiction (Books) | ## Images ![Big Little Lies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81E183cc-mL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book: Everyone must read this book!!!! *by A***R on June 13, 2017* From the very beginning, this book had twists and turns with every page; I couldn’t put the book down!

It was my second book by Liane Moriarty after The Husband’s Secret but Big Little Lies was sooooo much BETTER!!! It was funny, and poignant. And so on point regarding school politics and crazy parents. I’ve seen it all and honestly it’s not that far fetched or much exaggerated. But it also had a darker more serious side. When I found out that Reese Witherspoon bought the filming rights and that it was being filmed in my neighborhood (ok, an hour away), I knew that I had to watch the show and would be rereading the book just to refresh my memories. The trailer looked mighty fine and a lot more raunchy than the book really was, but that’s HBO. To reread it a second time I bought the audible version, because all my libraries where out of the book and the waiting list would have literally killed me. And I have to say, Big Little Lies was as good the second time around as it was the first time – even though I knew who got killed.:D What I loved the most about Big Little Lies was that it had the perfect mix of funny, snarky dialogs, and a hilarious bunch of over-the-top moms. The story started out ominously. Someone was KILLED!!!!!! But the reader wouldn’t find out about who got killed until the very END!! So let’s rewind….. …someone died at a parents trivia night. The thought alone was hilarious. Parents killing one of their own peers while playing trivia. Let’s bring out the knife or gun during “What’s the easiest way to kill a parent?” The book started at the beginning of the school year, which in Australia starts in late January/early February – very different to Europe and the US. The parents were introduced, mostly MOMS and ONE dad. But those ladies had me laughing my head off. From the very start there were two groups. And of course enemy lines were drawn immodestly. Either you were in one or the other group – no fraternization allowed. I preferred Madeline’s group – she was HILARIOUS!! Madeline was one of the best characters in this book. She didn’t take herself too serious and always had a snarky comment or two. And her marriage was pretty awesome – all thanks to an amazing and funny husband. Now, Celeste was a different story all together. She was complex and fascinating in a – what’s going on in your head is pretty screwed up but also quite riveting – kind of way. I felt for her, cheered for her, but also thought women you need your head screwed on right. Jane was as normal as a person could be – yeah NOT!!! Non of those moms were normal. They all had something going on. Insecurities, bad marriages, unhappy lives, tragic pasts, workaholics, kids-are-genius-complexes – you name it they had it!! Throughout the book ‘big little lies‘ were uncovered, skeletons in closets were revealed, and the bitter truth was dragged out into the light if it wanted or not!!! It was quite spellbinding to see everything enfold. And there was not ONE minute I was bored or thought the book was predictable. I loved the interview take outs throughout the book. Before or after each chapter were snippets of police interviews – all the parents gave their opinion of what happened. It was funny how those opinions differed and contradicted themselves. I think the hardest and most heart wrenching part for me was reading about Ziggy. That little boy held up remarkable well under the circumstances, and all I wanted was to give him a big, tight hug. For me Big Little Lies was a gem! It was such a great book that totally surprised me in the best of ways. I was raving about it to friends and family. Listening to it made my commute so much more enjoyable. But please remember – it’s FICTION!!! Over the top, maybe. But just fiction. I would highly recommend it just for the entertaining factor. And I need to mention that the narrator did a fantastic job and made my listening experience OUTSTANDING!!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/107391307-big-little-lies](https://www.desertcart.no/products/107391307-big-little-lies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
