It should come as no shock that the SparkPoint Studio team love them some Big Little Lies. From the release of the book to the second the HBO series hit the screen we’ve been all wrapped up in the moms of Monterey. So we thought we’d share where the obsession started for each of us.

Crystal Patriarche, CEO

Our fearless leader took the book to paradise. At the release of the HBO series, Crystal scooped up a second copy of the book for a quick re-read in Maui!

Lauren Wise, Managing Editor

“When my fav author Stephen King called this ‘a hell of a good book’ – I had to start reading!”

Morgan Rath, Publicist

People must’ve thought I was really fit while I was reading this book…I spent no less than an hour (sometimes more) walking it out (on an incline of course!) because I COULD NOT put down this book. Liane Moriarty’s thriller shocked me in a Gone Girl type way! I need more Madeline, Jane and Celeste in my life pronto!

Kortney Gruenwald, Content Editor

I love Celeste’s journey. There is still so much social discomfort surrounding the conversation of domestic violence and the success of Moriarty’s novel painted the most vivid and honest portrait of the topic we have in pop culture today. Celeste’s journey grabbed readers and viewers by the heart and made them understand – no matter how heartbreaking it was to read. That’s the type of literary feat that will advance the issue into the spotlight it deserves.

Leila O’Hara, Marketing Account Executive

“I loved bingeing this show (watched it in 3 days) and I’m already halfway through the book!”

There’s just nothing like getting an entire office hooked on a great book/show. How did you get on the BLL train?
