Parenting teens is not for the faint of heart but Madeline, Jane and Celeste have been through worse. It's been a decade since the school trivia night that changed their lives forever and now they're living blissfully ordinary suburban lives.
But when an anonymous grisly package arrives at the local high school, and a man in a green Volvo is seen lurking around the kids, everyone in their beautiful beachside community is uneasy.
Is this history repeating itself or something new and more shocking?
Can you ever truly outrun the mistakes of your past?
What big little truths are about to be revealed?
Once again, Liane Moriarty examines the complexities of modern women's lives, shining light on shame and family secrets with wit and compassion.
'Equal parts juicy, gripping, and impossible to put down . . . I loved diving back into the lives of these unforgettable characters.' - FREIDA McFADDEN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid
'What a gossipy, dazzling pleasure it is to be in Liane Moriarty's mind!' - RUFI THORPE, author of Margo's Got Money Troubles
'Warm, funny, shocking, and twisting. Written with such skill and heart, reading Big Little Truths felt like catching up with old friends. I adored it.' - CHRIS WHITAKER, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark
