I'm reading books I absolutely enjoyed during last summer:

Big Little Lies (Liane Moriarty), The Help (Kathryn Stockett) and Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (Fannie Flagg).

Miss Katz, have you heard that Big Little Lies was such a hit that HBO is doing another season? There are so many ways the story line could go based on events in the book that were never discussed in the first one. Should be interesting to see how they go, don't you agree?

Oh, definitely homoe!

I read recently on Nicole Kidman's and Reese Witherspoon's f.b. pages that they are filming season two of Big Little Lies!

Some interesting scenarios that might be expanded:

1) Jane and the coffee barrister, whom the girls thought was gay, but is not.

2) Madeline (Reese W.) Had an affair with the performing arts guy, so that's an possibility. She kept telling her husband that he was first in her life, but he knew he really wasn't, but Madeline has issues with her ex-husband who's together with the yoga instructor, on top of the affair she had too.

3) There is also the outcome of Ziggy, Jane's son, and being blamed for what the twin sons of Nicole Kidman's character did to Ziggy (bullying by parents kids and school staff).

There's a LOT that could happen in season two, for sure.

AND YOU KNOW........now that Nicole Kidman's character is a widow, they could have her "experiment" with lesbianism!

I dunno, I don't know that it's some sort of subplot at all. I mean, I've read the book and as anyone might realise, the HBO miniseries is not exactly adapted from the book -- hence your prior observation and comment about viewing the miniseries left you "scratching your head."

Of course, the screenplay and role development to expand the series might build upon the already known facts about Nicole Kidman's character: she was an attorney with specialized knowledge and took up the special case representation for her friend Madeline (Reese W.) Because certain wealthy acolytes in town were opposed to her theatrical troupes play (concerning sensitive subject matter). I can see the screenwriter's developing her character, in post-aftermath, by opening up her own law practice and I can also visualize the miniseries expanding the plot surround her twin son's and their behavioral issues as well as the co-mingling subject of Jane's son Ziggy being blamed for their behaviors and subsequent bullying by children or school staff.

But, I don't see your idea about Nicole Kidman's character in the Moriarty book, either.

I guess we will find out next fall, when season 2 of Big Little Lies premiers on HBO!

I got this book about a week ago and I've picked it up and put it down a couple times. Last night I began to read it in earnest and am finally enjoying it.

This book was good in the way it brought back all the crazy ass thing Trump did and still got elected into office! I liked her humor as well! I'd recommend this book if you ever come across it!
