Celeste is the kind of beautiful woman who makes the world stop and stare but she is paying a price for the illusion of perfection.

Big Little Lies is a brilliant take on ex-husbands and second wives, mothers and daughters, schoolyard scandal, and the little lies that can turn lethal.
Big Little Lies
This book was a nice read for me, something that allowed me to turn my brain off after a stressful work week. I watched the show last year so I already knew the twist but I still had a good time. I identified with Celeste a lot, her character was well written and it’s clear the author did a lot of research on DV. It’s a shame to me that Jane’s character didn’t seem to get the same amount of care and research, she felt glossed over to me.
