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

Gripping page turner, great characters and plot twists with wicked / humorous dialogue
Beautifully told and immediately engaging. Unfortunately very relatable for anyone who's witnessed the power play dynamics of friend groups. This is that - with added 'whoaaa, I can't look'

A must read
I was immediately hooked on this book within the first couple of chapters. The story was very gripping and I finished the book within 2 days.
Looking forward to reading more books by S.E Lynes.

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.

Loved it
Loved it. Have been unlucky enough to meet a few Lexi and Sophie types and not just in Surrey (well, a bit like them anyway :-) !!!) Loved the narrator.

A nice read
I lovely easy to listen to book. Although I guess the twist halfway through I didn’t take away from the pleasure of listening. And actually there was a twist at the end I didn’t see coming!

Gripped throughout
I loved this story… the characters and plot were both realistic however brought to life by brilliant performances and accents by Tamsin Kennard.
I enjoyed the way it skipped back and fourth between husband and wife, past and present yet was still easy to follow without too many character changes. Recommended to a friend today in conversation and will definitely be looking for more books by S E Lines.

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!

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.
