Big Little Lies Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Merry Christmas!
Madeline's woken up by Chloe at the stroke of 6 a.m. It's early, but hey...it's Christmas.
And Madeline is feeling warm and fuzzy and Christmas-y.
That is, until she gets a text from Abigail.
Abigail is spending Christmas Eve and morning with her dad and step-mom, Bonnie.
This year, they're spending Christmas morning at the soup kitchen, giving back to the community.
That would be sweet and all, but Madeline thinks its all part of Bonnie's faux-hippie, holier-than-thou attitude.
Also, it's really obvious that Abigail likes spending time with Bonnie more than with Madeline.
That hurts.
