Big Little Lies Chapter 28

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 28

Madeline is hurting.
She's packing up Abigail's stuff, readying her for the big move to her father and Bonnie's house.
Every time she thinks about it, really thinks about it, it feels like a punch to the abdomen.
But she's outwardly chill.
Abigail is even bringing along her new, four-poster bed that Ed put together.
Originally, Abigail adored Ed. But now she acts like he's too authoritarian and strict.
Nathan, Abigail's biological father, is more hang loose.
Ed comes in and helps Madeline. He even insults Bonnie, which perks Madeline right up.
Then he mentions interviewing a book club for the local paper. Madeline has a flash of inspiration: she'll start her own book club!
