Big Little Lies

Have you read "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty? If not, you should. It's one of my favorites of Moriarty's. The book takes place in an upper middle class seaside community in Australia. The story focuses on three friends who all have children in Kindergarten together. The story spans the course of the school year. In the beginning you find out that that someone that they all know has died at a school fundraiser at the end of the year. The killer was at the fundraiser. The characters all know who died and some know who did it, but it isn't revealed to the readers. The story then moves to the beginning of the school year with different narrators each chapter. It's a really easy, fun read. All of her books are great, actually. Moriarty develops her characters well and they are very relatable and realistic. HBO has developed a limited series based on the book that is coming out in 2017. This appears to take place in Southern California with the main characters being played by Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Shailene Woodley. It looks like it's going to be goooooood!! I can't wait to binge!

PS- Sadly, I've read rumors on the interweb today that there may be trouble in Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's marriage. NOOO! There are some marriages that I couldn't care less if they dissolved (Johnny Depp/Amber Heard), others that I wasn't suprised about (Angie/Brad), and others that super bum me out. They seem like a lovely, low key couple and I'd be bummed out if they broke up. The rumor seems to be based on the fact that they haven't been seen together since August and the two apparently have a rule that they can only be apart for 5 days at a time. It's pretty week evidence, so we shall see.
