Big Little Lies Chapter 40

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 40

Now we're only one week before Trivia Night.
And…we're only halfway through the book.
This is going to be one packed week, y'all.
It's the first night of book club! Or, more specifically, it's the first night of what Madeline is calling "Erotic Book Club."
Saucy!
That name is, um, keeping away the more close-minded mothers at Pirriwee Public.
But Samantha has showed up.
Samantha is a marathon runner with a good sense of humor;.Madeline likes her. They drink some champagne and then Samantha asks if Madeline has heard about the petition.
Er—what petition?
Oh, just the petition to have Ziggy expelled from Pirriwee Public, since Amabella refuses to confirm or deny whether Ziggy was the kid bullying her.
