Big Little Lies Chapter 72

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 72

Madeline, who's walking the fine line between tipsy and sloshy, is watching everyone at Trivia Night.
Celeste and Perry look like absolute movie stars.
Tom and Jane can't keep their eyes off each other.
Renata and her husband Geoff (who's having the affair with the nanny, remember) are talking to Ed.
And Bonnie is somehow next to Madeline.
Madeline is in full-blown Madeline mode, saying all sorts of snappy things to Bonnie. She mentions Abigail's website. She mentions Nathan's leaving her and baby Abigail. She's generally pretty catty.
Then, by accident, Bonnie spills her drink all over Madeline's dress.
