A review by bookishwelshie
The Surrogate Mother by Freida McFadden

fast-paced

4.0

Sometimes, in thriller books, the main characters can be so oblivious that you just want to reach through the pages to shake some sense into them. That’s exactly how I felt with Abby in The Surrogate Mother.
Abby is struggling to conceive with her husband, Sam, even IVF treatment hasn’t been working out for them. They were considering adoption, but Abby knows that Sam is longing for a child of his own. 
That’s when Abby’s younger assistant at work, Monica, offers to be a surrogate Mother. This seems like the answer that Abby and Sam have been looking for. But is it too good to be true? Is it just paranoia, or Monica have a dark side?

There are some great twists and turns here, once this story grips you, you won’t be able to put it down, Freida McFadden books are the definition of gripping page turners. This is one of the better books of hers I’ve read lately, aiming to read them all because of this fast-paced, addictive, writing style.
