Summary

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.

Predictable

Was an OK listen, but the typical storyline when the good person knows something about someone and tries to tell everyone but no one believes them, and they end up being the villan, until it comes to light that the villan is the person the good one was warning everyone about

Easy listening, poor plot.

An unbelievable plot line that starts off captivating and ends up laughable.
Perfect trash for a holiday read. If you’re easily pleased.

Page turner

I really enjoyed this. Maybe predictable in terms of wider story but still a really good listen where I was rooting for Jane to stand up for herself!

The most predictable book I’ve ever listen to

I don’t understand why the whole plot was made so predictable. I nearly gave up, but was sure there had to be a twist, but I was wrong. No twist just obvious.

Binged it!

Loved it. I was shouting at Jane to stand up for herself then cheering her when she did! Very believable story. Most probably has happened in real life. Another cracking book by SE Lynes and I love Tamsin as the narrator. Excellent.

Too predictable

Unfortunately it was predictable from the start but made for easy listening while painting and decorating. The performances were decent but sometimes over performed & slightly off putting. Overall I will no doubt forget the storyline by the end of this review.

Nicely Entertaining

I'm getting better with these types of books, I saw the twist coming. My jaw didn't drop too the floor but it was still very enjoyable. I can't take anything away from this story, I think I'm just getting better at guessing thrillers. Really good listen.

Predictable

I knew what the outcome was going to be about 30 mins into this book, although it was a good listen
