Big Little Lies Chapter 80

By Liane Moriarty

Chapter 80

Celeste is watching TV with her boys.
They were super-sad when she told them about Perry, but in that odd, five-year-old way. Celeste doesn't know if they understand the permanence of the situation.
Suddenly, Bonnie shows up. She's brought her signature veggie lasagna.
Bonnie tells Celeste that she's going to tell the police everything.
And it's not just because she's worried about Ed or Jane ratting her out. She's sick of lying.
Bonnie got really, really good at lying as she watched her mom get beaten, year after year, by her dad.
She says that she's sick of it, and needs to confess.
Bonnie also mentions that Celeste has probably gotten really good at lying, but she can stop now.
