About the Book
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • FROM THE AUTHOR OF BIG LITTLE LIES, THE RUNAWAY PHENOMENON THAT INSPIRED THE MEGAHIT HBO SERIES
In this highly anticipated sequel, Liane Moriarty examines the complexities of modern women’s lives, shining light on family dynamics and long-hidden truths with wit and compassion. Whether you’ve read Big Little Lies or not, this is the perfect novel for longtime fans and new readers alike.
“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
The last time we saw the women of Big Little Lies—Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie—their children were five years old. If someone wasn’t invited to a birthday party, feelings were hurt. But ten years have passed and the kids are in high school, navigating all of the drama that accompanies teendom (goodbye playdates, hello drugs, sex, and alcohol).
When the high school principal receives a threatening package in the mail, word quickly spreads throughout the community and parents are in an uproar. But Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie have other things to worry about. Celeste’s mother-in-law, Mary Louise, is behaving oddly—is it old-age forgetfulness and bluntness or something more sinister? Madeline is facing perhaps the biggest challenge of her life, Jane is at a dangerous fork in her marriage, Bonnie has realized there’s only so much solace in yoga. And Renata? Renata is living her best life—revenge is sweet.
When a stranger begins lurking around the school asking supposedly innocent questions, this tightly connected group of women must finally face the full repercussions of the big little truths they have and haven’t shared with their kids. Because the stakes are now much higher than not being invited to an ice-skating party—and the ice has never been thinner for any of them.

Editorial Reviews
“In the buzzy sequel to Big Little Lies, the high school principal receives a threatening package. But Jane, Madeline, Celeste, Renata and Bonnie all have their own problems. Thrilling.” —People
“Readers should banish the glossy memories of Nicole, Reese and Meryl from their minds, because Moriarty has returned to her original material in a sequel, Big Little Truths, set 10 years later . . . Moriarty expertly mixes high drama and slapstick comedy with emotional acuity, a keen understanding of trauma and droll observational humor.” —The New York Times
“Big Little Truths is a deliciously addictive drama that is equal parts juicy, gripping, and impossible to put down. I loved diving back into the lives of these unforgettable characters and watching their stories unfold in ways that were both intriguing and deeply satisfying.” —Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“What a gossipy, dazzling pleasure it is to be in Liane Moriarty’s mind! She captures perfectly the tender agony of trying to parent teenagers, of being suddenly locked out of the inner life of the child you love more than your own self, even as you are tossed like a sock in the dryer by the rest of your life. The rare sequel that is just as good (and juicy) as the original.” —Rufi Thorpe, author of Margo’s Got Money Troubles
“Moriarty doesn’t disappoint with this No. 1 bestselling follow-up to her No. 1 bestselling novel Big Little Lies. . . . Solidarity and revenge are the ties that bind this rollicking page-turner.” —The New York Times Book of the Week
“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
“Don’t wait for the TV series—Moriarty’s sparkling writing is worth the read.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
