This is my favorite read by this author. The book was both funny and emotional (as a teacher I found the community exerpts hilarious). I also found myself easily able to relate to the characters, despite the fact that they live a pretty luxurious life.

Amazing book
I was first introduced to the story of Big Little Lies via the HBO series, which I automatically loved. I didn't even know it was a novel until half way through binge watching the show, so I decided to pick up the book immediately after I finished. Despite the fact that I prefer reading the book before seeing another adaptation I just needed more of this story - Moriarty did not let me down as the book gave even more in depth character analysis and some added plot that was left out of the show. I really enjoyed how the book was divided into short chapters of varying perspectives that all lead to the climax. Yet, I have to admit I was somewhat disappointed with how the book ended when compared with the show (though I recognize having watched the show first, I have a bias). Moriarty has definitely become an author to look out for on my list and I really am excited to read more of her books! I would highly recommend others to discover this author as well.

Given to me as a gift at a time when I thought I had no time to read. I read a few chapters to treat myself one night and then kept reading! Love the layout and presentation of the book as it keeps you guessing as to who murdered who. The characters are developed in depth and are believable with both flaws and their lovable parts. More human. Great read!

This is my new favorite little book which just got better because of the mini-series! The characters are so fresh and so different from a typical novel. The story and the themes are not new but are treated with great care and leave the reader with a lot to think about!

Absolutely loved it!
I loved the humor in it and at first laughed at the stereotypical suburban parents. And then I loved how the author went deeper into each character so you could understand and relate to every character, and the characters surprised you. It was wonderfully written and made you not want to put it down until you got to the end.

Good, Easy Read
I did enjoy this book and am glad I chose to read it before watching the mini series. I was engaged the whole way through, and did not actually know how it would end. I was left wanting a little more for some reason, but perhaps a second book would address this. I did like it and believe it is on par with The Girl On The Train and The Widow.

The twists and turns, the characters, the build-up to the ending...honestly, it was a truly amazing book, I highly recommend, and will be watching the tv show.

Must-Read!
I watched the TV show and loved it, so decided to get the book and give it a go. As a general rule I find that books are better than their on-screen counterparts, but I don't know if I can say the same for this title. The book was very engaging and definitely a page turner, however I think I preferred the TV series, though both are excellent. There are some slight variations between the book and the TV series, one of them being that the book is set in Australia as opposed to California in the TV series, and being Australian that was a nice surprise! A must-read I think!

Two thumbs WAY way up !
Many books have ongoing stories that you can get lost or confused in and, often, they get forgotten about by the end, without good closure. Opposite in this case, they're all good and all keep you interested because they are all so important to you.
Couldn't put it down - words can't describe all the different emotions you can feel within seconds of each other.

I really enjoyed the book so much more than the HBO series. We find out right at the beginning of the book that there has been a tragic death. The question is who died? Who is responsible? We are given hints through eye witness accounts and these were by far my favorite parts of the novel. There is loads of suspense and I never saw that plot twist coming!

I found the ending a little rushed and wrapped up a little quickly but it was still good. looking forward to watching the series

Love this book!!!!!!
I saw that this book was becoming a TV show so I decided to read it before watching the show.
Such an amazing book! I loved every minute of it! Kept me thinking the whole time. I just bought 2 more books by Liane and can't wait to read them!
Now onto the TV show!

I purchased the book on a Friday and spent the entire weekend glued to the pages. The book keeps you on your toes the whole way through, and has you guessing at how it end. Recommended it to all of my friends!

Great book
Every book this author has written is excellent. I have yet to read her newest one but that will happen soon. All of her characters are real, the books make you laugh, cry, empathize and get angry. This book kept me guessing and I absolutely loved it. Thanks Liane!

Read this in a few days and really enjoyed it! Great if you like suspense and a light read (in terms of prose, not necessarily subject matter). Couldn't put it down near the end!

Great Read
This book was dark and twisted, and I absolutely loved it. It will leave you in suspense until the very end. This is the perfect summertime beach-read. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to escape reality for a bit and think about someone else's problems!

Light sassy thriller
The secrets we keep... good for book clubs as the characters are diverse and a variety of life issues. The tv series is surprisingly good, but as always the book is better- it takes places in Australia- should have been filmed there too

Readable, but not engrossing
This is a fun and light story with a bit of a twist at the end. It was really the tv adaptation that caught and sustained my interest in this book. I'm not sure if I would have read it otherwise.

Great book!!
Bought this book because I am a fan of the author's writing. Decided to read it recently before diving into the TV series! (The book is always better!) Definitely kept me guessing right 'til the end! I was so tired one night but only had 5 chapters to go and could not put it down! #plumreview

Enjoyable read!
This book was one roller coaster of a ride! I really enjoyed the style of writing. The book kicks of in a suburban neighbourhood, on a night when parents attend a trivia event at their children's school. By the end of the night, someone is dead. We are given witness accounts of the night throughout the book and I found these parts to be very enjoyable. Madeline, Celeste and Jane are three mothers caught up in this mess. The book follows each of their complicated, flawed lives and the struggles they deal with behind closed doors. This books covers so much: murder, parent's struggles, mother daughter relationships, scandal, schoolyard drama, bullying, violence, starting over etc… I don't think I would have enjoyed the book as much as I did without the blurbs of eyewitness accounts in each chapter. Not only did that build suspense, but it also gave us a look into other characters lives and thoughts. Overall 4/5 stars! I will definitely be exploring more books by this author.

This book was enjoyable and I ended up reading it in two sittings. The plot keeps you guessing until the very end. My only complaint would be that things get wrapped up a little too neatly in the end. #plumreview

It was a longer read, but I got through it quickly because it was funny and entertaining. Very different from the series though, so if you want to read the book, I would recommend against watching the series first!

This book is written wonderfully in that it builds and hypes in such a subtle way that you're sitting on the edge of your seat by the end of the book. I really loved this book, found it a great read, and loved the characters.

Great read!
An employee at Chapters recommended this book to me when I asked her for a light, enthralling read, and this definitley was it! I was a little apprehensive at first, since I am not a mother and felt I would not be able to relate to motherhood and marital life. However, Moriarty has a way of pulling the readers in with her wit and suspense - a definite must read!
