Things are seemingly perfect in Pirriwee. Everyoneโs so nice and welcoming. What could go wrong? Until one Trivia Nightโฆ.
Hey Everyone! I just finished reading this Big Little Lies book by Liane Moriarty and I know that HBO is about to release the series adaptation of this book at this month! Yes this February, like February 19! Yeah, OMG! Well, let me tell you that this book is quite an amazing fun read. The title is catchy and itโs pretty thick, but no worries, as each chapters are very short. So itโs gonna be quick and painless.
What I like about this book is how the characters are well-written. Theyโre well-characterized and their personalities and conflicts are well-described. They grow on you and theyโre such interesting personas living in a so-called idyllic Pirriwee Peninsula.
The story revolves around (mostly of) three women; Madeline, Celeste and Jane. Jane is new in town, ( like in the HBO trailer, portrayed by Shailene Woodley) and her kid Ziggy (as in Ziggy Stardust) will be joining the Pirriwee Public. Madeline is a savvy, vigilant, multitasking, fierce and fashionable mom, while Celeste is ethereal, gorgeous, perfect and super rich.
Their kids will eventually attend Pirriwee Public and they will all meet some familiar faces from their past. There will be groups of snobby and nosy parents together with the seemingly clueless teachers. There will be kid fights, bullying, jealousy, attraction, gossip, scandal, hate, pain, suffering, and secrets. Like the bookโs title, Big Little Lies. One small lie could snowball into something big.
All the charactersโ lives will intertwine on their long awaited Trivia Night of the Pirriwee Public. Soon, their lives will change forever.
This book will grow on you. It is entertaining, shocking, relatable and riveting. Itโll make you think twice about the people around you. Hmmmโฆ
Donโt forget to watch the first episode of HBOโs adaptation of this book, Big Little Lies on February 19th, Sunday 9pm Eastern Time. Hopefully the showโs gonna be awesome. BUT! before you watch the show, take time to read the book first. You can buy the book HERE, or listen to the audiobook HERE.
