I think what makes me love Liane Moriarty's storytelling is the sheer honesty with which she describes her characters and their inner thoughts. I continuously find myself thinking 'Yes! That's exactly what I thought, but never dared say it'.

Her novel Big Little Lies was adapted into a television series by HBO, [2] and stars Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, and Alexander Skarsgård. The series premiered on 19 February 2017, with the first season concluding on 2 April 2017. [3] A second season was announced in December 2017. [4] Season two premiered in June 2019. It’s not all fun and games, of course, and everything is not cheerfully perfect in the various households. There are shadowy undertones, but not the dark, criminal elements of Big Little Lies. Her descriptions of life in this part of Sydney are accurate and familiar to me (I raised little kids there, too), and the relationships between all the family members are spot-on. They are each other’s keepers, as it were, and they have no secrets from each other. They know what their husbands and boyfriends are like in bed and they swap all kinds of personal details. At least that’s what each thinks about the other two. We learn differently, gradually.

Lyn is married to her husband (once a married man whose marriage she ruined), a 2 year old terror of a daughter, and a teen step-daughter (teen says it all). She runs a small breakfast catering company and has the perfect life. Really, she has no issues.

Cat, whose perfect marriage is the envy of all her friends, never suspected that her husband had been hiding a secret that will tear her life apart. Sensible Lyn is struggling to balance being a mother, wife and businesswoman without losing her mind. You seek out Christmas books that aren’t overtly Christmasy. Much of the plot here takes place over the holidays, so the seasonal reader in me wished I had saved this to read in December. This is Moriarty’s debut novel, written in 2003 with plenty of insight and humour and empathy for both the parents (now separated and sparring) and their 30-something daughters who have the same problems their mother had and many young women have. It’s just that things seem magnified when everything is tripled. When one hurts, they all hurt, at least after two of them have finished scolding and carrying on about how the third (injured) one shouldn’t have been doing whatever she was doing at the time. Her novel Nine Perfect Strangers, published November 6, 2018, was adapted into a television series by Hulu, starring and produced by Nicole Kidman. [8] [9] Personal life [ edit ]

The story follows three triplet sisters, in their thirties, who all have very different personalities and outlooks on life and explores how their complex relationships with each other withstand all the dramas that life throws at them. Spoiler alert: a lot. As in Moriarty’s hugely successful Big Little Lies, there is plenty going on behind closed doors, the secrets they DO keep from each other making you want to read just one more chapter.
