An Inside Look at the Monterey Five’s Amazon Carts

Authored by Drew Carlos

Spoilers for season one ahead.

The Monterey Five have a lot on their plate. When we last left off with the group — two years ago in our world, one year for them — they were moving on after that fateful night.

Bound together forever, the five women of “Big Little Lies” could not be more different.

But let’s be real here: we all know a Jane or a Madeline or a Renata. Maybe you are one of them. Regardless, we all have some idea of what makes the characters tick. But nothing gives you insight into what a person is like more than the Notes app on their phone — and their Amazon shopping carts.

Amazon carts: They are so big and full of secrets (oops, wrong universe).

And no matter what is going on in your life *cough, cough, murder investigation,* Amazon is always there for you. So, peep what the ladies of Monterey have in their shopping carts and take an intimate look into their big little lives.

Jane Chapman

Jane: Mom to Ziggy; best friend to Madeline; loves to run; just found out her rapist was married to one of her other best friends, Celeste; likes running to the edges of cliffs and taking her favorite coffee barista to a charity gala.
