Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty is #15 for the year. Finally a book I had trouble putting down. I think I read all 462 pages in three or four days ~ staying up until 1:00 last night {this morning} to finish.Liane Moriarty can weave a compelling story ~ full of characters that seem real to life ~ with flaws and strengths I can relate to. This story is about mothers who meet when their children start kindergarten & is fraught with fictional school politics ~ that are far fetched ~ but also true to how people behave. You know from the start that there is a murder...and the questions of who dies & who did it kept me turning the pages.
SPOILER ALERT ~ what I like most about the two Liane Moriarty books is that they end the way they should. Maybe not how they would in real life, but they way they SHOULD. The right people get what they deserve & happily ever after is a real possibility.
fl: "That doesn't sound like a school trivia night," said Mrs. Patty Ponder to Marie Antoinette. "That sounds like a riot." ll: "This can happen to anyone."
Good Word:
p 50 ~tetchy ~ bad-tempered and irritable
Quotes:
p5 ~ Ask any man--not some new-age, artsy-fartsy, I-wear-moisturizer type, I mean a real man--
p58~ ...the most ridiculously tizzy pink crystal champagne stopper.
p384~ So many calamitous catastrophes!
Throughout the book, when something bad happened, the line was, "Oh, calamity" Love it
