Description:

She doesn’t know I’m there, watching her. She slides her hand under her blouse. And then I see something impossible. She isn’t pregnant…

Nothing is the same after she bursts into my life. She seems so perfect, and one by one, I watch 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, I know she’s behind it. But she never lets her mask slip. If I say anything, I’ll look crazy.

At the baby shower, we share gifts in the posh hotel room, surrounded by balloons. 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 no.1 bestseller The Housewarming. If you like Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins, you’ll be glued to The Baby Shower.
