A murder...A tragic accident...Or just parents behaving badly? What’s indisputable is that someone is dead.
Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny, biting, and passionate; she remembers everything and forgives no one. 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. New to town, single mom Jane is so young that another mother mistakes her for a nanny. She comes with a mysterious past and a sadness beyond her years. These three women are at different crossroads, but they will all wind up in the same shocking place.
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.

LOVED it. This book is fantastic--the interwoven stories of three friends, Madeline, Celeste, and Jane, unfold concurrently and seamlessly. The story changes perspective between the three in a smooth way, sometimes broken by a brief first-person account from another, minor character, and sometimes without any preamble at all, but Caroline Lee's narration style is sufficiently distinct to distinguish from whose perspective the story is being told. Best of all, she does not employ different character "voices", which can be distracting. Her cadence and expressiveness are excellent. I recommend the book and the reader.

I've watched the show in the past and loved it. The book, of course, is better! I'm a huge fan of Ms Moriarty and Ms Lee... they've never let me down!
