Durante meses, una buena amiga me insistió en que debería leer Big Little Lies de Liane Moriarty. Durante meses le dije que un libro cuya sinopsis trataba sobre padres divorciados y sus dimes y diretes no me llamaba mucho la atención. Ella insistió y dijo que iba a romper esta racha que traía en la que no podía terminar los libros que empezaba. Aún así le dije que no. Cuando nos vimos para comer, sacó el libro de su bolsa y me dijo “Lo vas a leer”. Yo le contesté que lo haría una vez que terminara esos dos libros con los que llevaba meses atorada. En verdad no sentía interés por leer este libro, y pude ver como ella pasó de estar muy emocionada de compartirlo conmigo a decirme “tal vez no te va a gustar, te dije que estaba tan bueno que te puse expectativas muy altas”. Bueno, amiga Edith, sí cumplió las expectativas. Tenías razón, y yo estaba equivocada. Gracias por forzarme a leerlo, porque una vez que lo empecé no lo pude soltar.

Big Little Lies: Review
For months a good friend of mine insisted I should read Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. For months I told my good friend I was not interested in a book about divorced parents bickering to each other. She insisted and told me it would break my reading slump. I still said no. When we met for lunch she took the book out of her purse and told me “You are reading it”. I said I would read it once I finished the two books I’ve been stuck with for months now (hence the book slump she was talking about). I wasn’t interested in reading this book, and I could see she went from super excited about sharing it with me to “maybe you won’t like it, I made such a big deal out of it and it probably won’t live to the hype.” Well, my dear friend Edith, it did. You were right, I was wrong. Thank you for forcing me to read it; once I stared it I couldn’t put it down. The book slump was over.
