I did NOT expect them from Lavender, but her being Violet's daughter, I probably should have. How she got back at him though had my jaw dropping. However, the reason I ultimately knocked a 1/2 star off was because I thought Lavender gave in a little too easily and Kody definitely should have proven himself to her a little bit more. When they did eventually get together it was sweet and funny. He was SO mean to Lavender and it broke my heart to see how he was treating her.
Kody overall was a tough pill to swallow in the beginning. It was a really great juxtaposition and also a really great way to show that anxiety comes in all forms and no two people will handle things the exact same way. I didn't realize that he also suffered from anxiety and I really liked how, though they both suffered from the same mental illness, they both handled it in different ways. Kody was a frustrating, but interesting character. She was always on Violet's side no matter what and I just adored their interactions. I also LOVED her relationship with Violet and it was super interesting to see how Violet was as a parent. Her putting all the men in her life in place was some of the best parts of this book. I loved that she found her sass and that she desperately wanted to be treated like a strong, independent woman. The way she transforms herself from an incredibly co-dependent person to someone who relies on no one but herself was absolutely amazing to witness. She grows SO much during this entire book so I loved to see the flashbacks from when she was younger to her as an adult. Lavender is my favorite kind of character.
I am not someone who has anxiety so to be able to get a glimpse inside the head of someone who does is fascinating to me and really helps me learn about that kind of disorder. I absolutely love books about mental health because I love getting inside the heads of these types of characters. Little Lies definitely lived up to my expectations.
I just knew she had to have an incredible story. What a great book! I've been dying to get inside Lavender's head ever since A Secret for a Secret.
