Little Lies

This book wasn't really what I thought it was going to be. Maybe because I don't have children and have never felt that pang of motherhood, but there where some parts where I found myself saying “wtf” in both a shocked and annoyed way (not the way you'd remark if you were reading a real page turner of a plot). The whole point of the book revolves around domestic violence, which is a hard subject for me to handle because anger at the patriarchy and that it's such a delicate position. My heart goes out to people who have been in and left domestic violence situations. So that coupled with the fact that a lot of these women where catty moms made me feel somewhat disappointed. I heard a lot of good things about this with all the hype, but while the book was okay, it didn't really live up to anything. I wanted to read before watching HBOs version and I just hope this is one of the plot lines that makes more sense on screen than on page.
