Publisher's 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.

Enjoyed it

I mostly enjoyed the story. I wished the main character had more of a backbone though. The ending was a huge disappointment… the author just took the easy route. Not all dreams come true and the story would’ve been stronger without.

Gripping!

Lynes captures the angst of the bullied victims perfectly. She relates to ordinary people leading ordinary lives. The narration is perfect and makes for a story well told.

It was ok

I had the whole plot figured out before the half way mark. The “twists” are kind of obvious. That being said, it did keep my attention and was ok for a mindless listen while driving. Narration was excellent
