At the beginning you see the story from one perspective but then things start to change as more is revealed about her life, her choices, and how these have been viewed by others.
There's a twist to the story and i was gripped right to the end. Saying that- some events do seem far fetched.

From beginning to end, this was a page turner. Had me up half the night! Loved the characters. Highly recommend. I will be looking for more from Caroline Corcoran.

Really enjoyed Caroline’s first book so was looking forward to reading this one! Second books can be hard as they need to live up to the hype of the first, but this one worked just as well. I loved the ‘mummy’ concept being a mother of 3 myself and the revealing of the video was a great way to change that stereotypical ‘mummy’ books around.

The characters in this books were brilliant and you really didn’t know who to believe or trust. Loved the way it was written from the two perspectives - the main character Scarlett and the anonymous poster!

One that keeps you turning the pages and wanting to find out what one earth is going on!!

What a nail biting read full of an array of characters! Perhaps not a read for a new mum but an excitingly terrifying one nonetheless.

I am sorry for the inconvenience but I don’t have the time to read this anymore and have lost interest in the concept. I believe that it would benefit your book more if I did not skim your book and write a rushed review. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience.

A gripping read that keeps you guessing about the perpetrator. I read it in one evening and am looking forward to reading more from the author.

The cover grabbed my attention and the story delivered. This is a solid twisty domestic thriller and if you enjoy the genre you won't be disappointed.

As I'm childfree, I'm always fascinated by books about motherhood - especially thrillers - because they just make me think how right I am of not wanting to have kids. They're just trouble, not to mention that this way I don't have to deal with horrible momzillas.
I think the conflict of this novel is a bit muddled, but I have to admit that I couldn't guess who the bad guy was until the very end.

This was a great book which I flew through and kept me guessing. At the end it was twist after twist - I thought I knew what was coming but I definitely didn't!

I did love this book. I remember my early days as a mother and I struggled so I had a lot of sympathy for Scarlett. The detail was great and really is what made the book a page turner. Yes, it brings back memories of those playgroups and friendship that are transitory because the only thing you have in common is a baby.
The idea that you needed to find out who had done it before reporting to the police was a bit unreal but was a key part of the story. By the time I got to the end I was fairly sure I knew what was going to happen but that didn’t matter.
I will read more of her books if I get the chance.

This is a good book that keeps you guessing! I was a little unsure at the beginning as it was a slow start, but got steady better.

This book really kept me guessing the whole way through. Although I didn’t really connect with the main character I really enjoyed trying to figure out everything. It was a real page turner and one that I am sure a lot of people would love

This domestic thriller was fast-paced and well-written. Easy to follow, relatable in a sense of today's online world and sharing what is questionable. Also made me think of past situations and how handling them could be displayed to harm a person. This book was a bit of a mindf*#k for me, but kept me intrigued to know who was behind the video leak. Well done Caroline! Looking forward to reading more of your novels!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Caroline Corcoran and Avon for providing me with an ecopy of this publication which allows me to provide you with an unbiased review.

With the The Baby Group, Caroline Corcoran has written one heck of a thriller! The main character, Scarlett, has a successful parenting blog, but her world is unraveled when an old sex tape of hers is sent to literally almost everyone she knows including her parents, boss, and friends. The only people who seemingly haven't seen it are her fellow members of her new mother's' group. Who leaked the tape and why? This book was filled with twists and betrayals. What else is Scarlett hiding in her past behind her carefully curated life? This was an excellent book that kept me reading and guessing.

This was a really good read. It's well written and keeps you hooked. I couldn't get enough of this and the secrets, lies, and deception.

Every time i'd make up my mind on who was responsible, something would cause me to change my mind. I liked that I was kept guessing.

I enjoyed all the secrets and lies to this book to give it that mysterious edge! I like finding those reads where looks can be deceiving like with Scarlett who seemingly has the perfect husband, perfect baby, perfect friends, perfect life and then one little thing can destroy that perfection that creates a little crack until it breaks. As a sex tape emerges from the past the only ones who don’t receive this tape with Scarlett in it are her mommy friends Cora, Emma, and Asha so could one of them actually be the guilty party who somehow found it and made it surface for everyone to see?! The POV told from Scarlett and the anonymous culprit who will be revealed when it comes time and why they were out to destroy Scarlett! This was a good read!! Thank you NetGalley and Avon books for the copy in exchange for my review.

Very interesting psychological thriller. The writer did a great job with the description and mind games for the main character. So many emotions while reading this book and kept me captivated from beginning to end.

Thank you Netgalley for the earc.

Scarlett is just barely keeping it together on her first day back to work after a year long maternity leave. When she is told there is a sex tape that has been sent to all of her family and friends, she is floored. Everyone in her life has witness this intimate moment in her life except her baby group, who she is keeping out of the drama at all costs. But we find out early on that the very person responsible for this malicious act is a member of the close-knit baby group.

This domestic thriller kept me engaged from the first page. Even though it is heavily plot-driven, we get to know each of the characters very well, and the writing is well-executed. This was an ingenious story about how the intimate bond of new moms can go horribly awry.
