Little Lies

The first 80 pages or so, I wanted to stop reading this book (which would have been my third DNF in a row, I think). I wanted to give it only one star. I hated the mommy drama BS. I didn't like any of the characters. Everyone seemed so fake and terrible and catty. It made me feel kind of rage-y.

So I now hate the fact that the book picked up and got really, really good, and now I have to give it lots of stars.

During those first 80 pages, I kept looking at all the positive reviews for this book and thinking, What is it that I'm not getting? Why did this get four and five stars from EVERY friend I follow on Goodreads?

I'm glad I stuck with it. The story took off, the writing stopped feeling so cheesy and trope-y, it got all serious, and I flew through it.

Now I'm one of you.
