Big Little Truths

Liane Moriarty

Ten years after Big Little Lies, the Monterey Five are back—now navigating the treacherous terrain of raising teenagers while their own lives unravel in unexpected ways. When a severed finger arrives at the high school and a charismatic new teacher hides a devastating secret, the stakes have never been higher for Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie.

“Ten years can turn kindergarteners into teenagers and best friends into lifelines. But some truths stay buried until the next generation digs them up.”
