A twisty turny tale of the past coming back to haunt you in a very 21st century way. I really enjoyed The Baby Group. It's brimming with scandal, secrets and the big questions of who posted Scarlett's sex tape keeps you reading right to the end. Just when I thought I had it figured out another twist would derail me, which is perfect for a thriller.

On top of the twists and turns there's a good message about people's real lives versus their blog or instagram selves, and that nobody is every as perfect as they seem.

A good read and I'd pick up another by Caroline Corcoran any day.

Solid 4 stars.
This was a fun book to read about 4 ladies who have become friend through their baby group. Unfortunately, somebody in the group is out to get Scarlet. Which friend will it be!?!?!

The Baby Group is the latest in a long line of books filled with horrible people doing horrible things to each other. Scarlett, the main character, returns to work after a 12-month maternity leave. But before she even gets to sit down, her life is upended by a video that contains evidence of her sordid past. Who would do this to her? And why are her three newest friends, the titular Baby Group, the only people in her life who weren’t sent a link to the video?

Throughout the book we see the many realities that people can paint the world with, along with the harsh judgments that we cast on others. The book also points out the disloyalty that often results from anything controversial coming to life.

There’s one thing about the book that concerned me. Without getting into spoilers, it felt like one character was stereotyped in a way that could potentially have racist connotations. However, this wasn’t overt enough for me to know which way the author really meant it, and I don’t want to cast the same type of harsh judgment on another person that the characters in the book did. I bring it up here primarily because I read an advanced copy and I thought the author and publisher should be aware of how this characterization may be perceived to others.

My one concern aside, this was a quick, uncomfortable read (as it should have been). The twists worked pretty well, and I didn’t see all of them coming.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC. This review contains my honest, unbiased opinion.

Wow...this book was very interesting. I really liked it. The plot of the story was fun and it was definitely pretty twisty. Makes you wonder what actually goes on in mom groups. Very enjoyable with great characters and keeps you hooked from the beginning.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I liked this book! It's the kind of book I will recommend for my book club. It's very tense and has a lot of twists that shocked me. I would recommend it for fans of mystery/suspense.

I liked the idea of reading a mystery/thriller involving a parents group, but this title did not format correctly on my Kindle and it was too distracting to read.

This is a really good domestic thriller. Really fast paced and edgy. What really I liked about this book is it has a really great story and at its heart are very real characters too. It really manages to reflect the feelings of being a new mum and everything that comes with that but without sacrificing any of its story. Definitely a recommended read.

Scarlett is a new mum with a new group of baby mum friends. She appears to have the perfect life but one day a shocking video of her is sent to everyone she knows. The only people who it hasn’t been sent to are her new friends in her baby group, Fiona, Emma and Asha. Scarlett is forced to face her past to try and discover who is out to take her down. But who can she really trust.

This is a perfect summer book--compulsively readable with some twisted ladies out for revenge.

Newish mom Scarlett seems to have the perfect life: gorgeous husband, idyllic countryside house, adorable one-year old daughter Poppy, a job she loves, and a popular mummy blog. But her past comes back to haunt her when an old sex tape is circulated to everyone she knows. Everyone except her new trio of mom friends.

Now Scarlett has to face the past she's so desperately tried to erase to figure out who's truly out to get her. She begins to question everything and everyone she thought she knew. And when all is said and done, how much does she really know these new friends?

There's nothing terribly unique about this book, exactly; it's a fairly standard drama about lies and cheating and trying to outrun your past, but I really enjoyed the narrative. Scarlett is a lovely protagonist. She's thoughtful about her actions, regardless of how other see her, and her grief and shame about what's happened to her comes to life on the page. I really felt her pain. And I liked how, though you can sort of put together who the "bad guy" is, you're left second guessing until everything's revealed. This was a book I had a hard time putting down once I picked it up.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Book UK for providing this copy for review. I enjoyed it so much that I went off to buy Cororan's Through the Wall, which was advertised at the end.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. Scarlett has the perfect life until something happens to change all of that. This was a good read and had my guessing right until the end. Really liked it.

This book didnt grab me at all, I found there to be a lot of unnecessary internal dialogue which seemed like filler to me. Also found it quite predictable. This book does have its place and I'm sure it will do really well just not for me. Many thanks to netgalley for providing me with the ARC in exchange for my honest review
2.5 stars rounded up

This book circles around a group of moms, the baby group, who live in Cheshire.
The main character Scarlett is pretty new to the area and is quickly welcomed in by the group of women but things take a turn for the worse when someone uploads a very private video of her to all her friends, coworkers, and family but not to the baby group. The books main focus is around her trying to figure out who she can trust, how she can save her marriage from falling apart due to this video, and maintaining her mommy blog all while finding out who would want to ruin her life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I thought I had figured out midway who uploaded the video but the author threw me for a loop. I would highlight recommend this!

I really loved this book!! It had so many twists and turns. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next!! This was my first book by this Author, and it won’t be the last!! Quick read!! Highly recommended!! You won’t be disappointed!!

Oh Scarlett, we never really knew you. All of you. And that’s the point. Insta, Pinterest, Facebook and probably lots of sites I dont even know project the image we want - perfect, successful and duly filtered. To those reading the upmarket mommy blog written by Scarlett in the expensive suburb, she has it all and to the other three mothers in her hastily thrown together mummy group she could also be seen as superficial, narcissistic, self-absorbed and judgmental, depending on their viewpoint, or our viewpoint directed by our personal circumstances. A thoroughly enjoyable, nerve wracking psychological thriller where more and more is revealed through the viewpoint of Scarlett and the anonymous voice of the person out to destroy her.

This book is perfect for this generation. Only in this period of time would you hear tales of rogue videos ruining your whole world. The whole book resonates with people today. Realise issues- groups of friends- lack of trust- simple mistakes or events - life changing issues with the online world.
One for those who love modern life.

A compelling domestic-noir with plenty of intriguing twists and turns. Tense and oozing with suspense, I read this in one sitting. Once you begin this book you certainly won’t want to put it down. So, put your feet up, forget about the worries of everyday life and delve into ‘this compelling psychological thriller for some pure escapism.

This domestic noir was well paced and interesting. Other than the repetition of descriptions (how many times do we need to be told about Emma’s welsh accent) I enjoyed this sorry in two sittings.

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book wasn’t my favorite psychological thriller of late, but it was perfectly serviceable and did the job. The epitome of a three star thriller

This was a quick, twisty drama mystery that I enjoyed.

The characters were realistic and believable, and the plot was interesting enough.

It didn't really 'grab' me as I found it quite predictable, however it was still a fun read.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this E-book to review via Netgalley.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review.

On the face of it Scarlett has it all a handsome wealthy husband, a beautiful baby daughter, a house in the country and a successful blog .Scarlett also has a good well paid job in the city and on the day she goes back to work after maternity leave she is shocked to find out that all her colleagues her friends and family have been sent a sex tape made in her past life which was not so successful. Scarlett is in danger of losing it all . This is the story of her downward spiral from her perfect life. The story is also told by Anon one of her baby friends who is the leaker of the tape and responsible for Scarlett’s loss of control in her life.

This book described the absolute horror of Scarlett’s loss of dignity and control and describes the secrets of her past and the reinvention of herself. Anon is also obviously unhinged and is well hidden amongst this small group of friends. It was a good read however at times I found the story overlong and at times too much repetitive information .

Thank You to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for this ARC!!

Scarlett’s golden life suddenly unravels when someone sends a shocking video of her to everyone she knows. The only people who claim they haven’t seen it are the friends in her new mothers’ group: Cora, Emma and Asha. Scarlett is forced to delve into her past to discover who is out to get her.

An amazing book with a brilliant concept and characters.

It keeps you interested mainly to find out who is the culprit but also to know why?? The story is narrated from Scarlett's point of view and the anonymous person who is out to destroy her. There are many secrets and past stories which are revealed as the story progresses.

The twist at the end was so good that I did not see coming at all. Sometimes you just don't know who your friends are and how the things we do in the past can haunt us in the future!!
