Phong Lê’s Reviews > Big Little Lies > Status Update

So far, this page is an incredibly confusing flash-forward, followed by 90 pages (and counting) of backstory whose relevance I fail to see. Also getting angry with these authors who clearly depict their characters one way, then in the next chapter tell us those characters are the complete opposite. Piss-poor characterization, and I feel like I’m crazy for being the only one who notices this in every novel.
