She doesn’t know I’m there, watching her in the mirror. She slides her hand under her blouse. And then I see something impossible. She isn’t pregnant....

She bursts into my life like a storm, and nothing is the same again. She seems so perfect, with her lilting laugh and her beautiful face. One by one, I watch as my friends fall under her spell.

Only I seem to suspect something. Only I see that her smiles don’t reach her cold, furious eyes. And when I’m accused of things I didn’t do, when my home is vandalized, I know she’s behind it. But she only lets her mask slip when no one is looking, so if I say anything, I’ll look crazy.

So when the baby shower comes around, I’m there, sitting on a velvet sofa in a posh hotel room, surrounded by balloons. We share gifts, we pour small glasses of champagne, and she beams, her bump just visible under her bright red shirt.

But that afternoon, I finally learn the unbelievable truth.

There is no baby....

A stunningly twisty story of toxic female friendships, guilt, and lies from S.E. Lynes, author of the number one best seller The Housewarming. If you like Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn, and Paula Hawkins, you’ll be glued to The Baby Shower.

Engaging Plot • Riveting Subplots • Awesome Narrator • Excellent Storytelling • Unexpected Twists • Terrific Performance

Highly rated for:

A tantalising mix of Soapie, Over-the-top Drama, Cheesy, Gossipy, Cattishness and Intrigue. In isolation, the above adjectives would likely result in a writing disaster, but somehow, Lynes has managed to craft a novel with the appropriate amount of the above. Surprisingly, the end product is deliciously entertaining.

I loved this story. It kept my attention the whole way, and had me tuned in for the ending!!! I hate the long winded reviews that analyze the story. Suffice it to say I highly recommend.

Oh my goodness, this was one of the best books I listened too in a long time! Wow the narrator was awesome, loved all the different voices she was able to do, and the sound effects, like sniffing, crying, etc.,

Love all the twists and turns

twisty and interesting

The protagonist lacks all self-respect and constantly debases herself. Another important character appears to have no observational skills or perception whatsoever. I guess I just prefer books in which women don't act like idiots. Having said all that, I did listen (somewhat masochistically) because I wanted to see how on earth it all turns out, so the author was doing some things right, even though I ground my teeth the whole time with frustration at the protagonist's constant second guessing of herself about screamingly obvious elements.

Implausible
