Hello and welcome to

Where we read about PTA Mums Gone Wild so you don't have to.

I'm Renata.

And I'm Kate.

And for this episode, we read Big Little

Lies by Leanne Moriarty. Joining us to discuss this prestige television inspiration is writer and

co-host of the Truer Words podcast, Melissa. Hello. Hello. Thank you for having me.

Thanks so much for joining us.

It's a delight to have you here and a delight to have read this book, I must say.

I really liked it.

I didn't really know what, like, all I knew about this really was that there's a character

named Renata in it because somebody I knew took

a like which big little ice character quiz are you and got Renata and I was like, wait a minute,

what?

Because as you may be able to guess, there are not very many fictional characters named Renata,

so I get excited whenever there are any.

So I knew that. I knew there was a TV show or an HBO series

based on it, but I have never seen it. And yeah, this was just like better than I was

anticipating. How about you guys? Yeah, I really, I mean, at first I thought, I'm reading

another podcast book simultaneously, and I hate it.

And I was like, maybe this just seems good in comparison.

Like, I am truly afraid sometimes that we're broken inside, and we think that actual bad things are good because we've read Dianetics.
