This is Moriarty's first-ever sequel, returning to the women of Big Little Lies — Madeline, Celeste, Jane, Renata, and Bonnie — a decade after the events of the original novel. The story picks up when the school principal receives a threatening item in the mail, sending the community into an uproar. The kids they once fretted over playdates for are now teenagers navigating drugs, sex, and alcohol, and old secrets threaten to resurface. Celeste's mother-in-law is behaving strangely, Jane's marriage is fraying, and a stranger lurking near the school raises new alarm. The novel will also serve as the source material for Season 3 of the HBO adaptation.
