Big Little Lies Chapter 7

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 7

It's drama time at Pirriwee Prep.
Ziggy flat-out denies hurting Amabella.
Amabella insists that Ziggy choked her.
All of that would have been tense enough, but the moms get involved as well.
Jane and Renata stand off, each insisting that their kiddo is telling the truth.
Now Madeline—whose birthday isn't going so well—gets involved. She's trying to be diplomatic and peace-making…but she's also trying to stir things up a bit.
The thing is, Renata and Madeline's friendship has always been a little fraught and competitive.
Anyway, it doesn't work.
Renata is so worked up she ends up threatening Ziggy.
