The Baby Shower by S.E. Lynes
4.0

4 'it started with a watch'

Okay, so I totally had every little twist figured out ~ you can even ask my family because I yelled it out to them. It's making me think I am reading too many thrillers, BUT I still very much enjoyed it. Totally gave me HS mean girl vibes a few times, even though these ladies are in their 30's. Holy drama drama drama!

The prologue pulls you right in!
Told from multiple pov by Jane and Frankie.
Jane, Sophie, Hils and Kath have been buddies for years until Sophie brings a 5th woman to the group, Lexie. Right from the start Jane and Lexie butt heads and have she said/she said shenanigans going on. This puts Jane and Sophie's BFFness on the rocks.
Jane and her husband, Frankie, are unable to have children, so when Sophie and Lexie announce they're pregnant, Jane can't help to feel a wee bit sad. Bring on the baby shower and tensions rise and secrets and lies are revealed.

Cheers, Mate, to the bloody brilliant British lingo.
It was a fast paced, psychological thrilling ride and I'll be sure to read her work again.

*Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture and S.E. Lynes for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*
