Very much a chick-lit book, but with surprising twists and a serious tone as well. The story is enjoyable and builds in suspense as there has been a murder at Pirriwee Public elementary school.Pirriwee is an idyllic Australian town by the ocean that single mom Jane moves to with her son Ziggy seemingly on a whim.
At Pirriwee, she befriends flamboyant Madeline and quiet, gorgeous Celeste with her wealthy, perfect husband Perry.
Madeline helps Jane navigate the inner politics and cat-fights of Perriwee Public parents, especially the Blond Bobs, middle-aged 'mean girls' who rule the elementary school.
Touching on serious topics such as working v stay-at-home moms, mistakes made in youth and domestic violence, Big Little Lies is an enjoyable, witty and brisk read.
I definitely plan to read other Liane Moriarty novels.
