Big Little Lies

Big Little Lies is the second novel I chose to read in my Kindle bunch. This one had a lot of hype among chick lit circles and I liked it. The story is about three women who became close friends when their children started at the same kindergarten and their lives and secrets.

Spoilers.

Each have different problems with one being the most serious. Not only her husband beats her but also one of her twin sons turns out to imitate his dad at school bullying other kids.

One of them had a disastrous one night stand with an asshole who was mean to her and she actually got pregnant and her child is the one accused of bullying (we do not know whether this is true or not)

Our third protagonist is the one most likable, she has a healthy marriage, two kids and one older girl from an earlier marriage. Her problem is that her teenage girl seems to be spending more time in her ex husband's house with his new wife than with her. The girl seemed to forget that her dad actually abandoned her when she was a baby.

There are other characters, other mothers, their husbands, hunky café owners that can cook etc.

All in all it was entertaining.
