First time reading this author and wont be the last. Good thriller twists and turns. Keeps you on the edge of your seat just didn't want the Book to end

4 star review of The Baby Group by Caroline Corcoran:

Popular group leader of a mom group and blogger/influencer,The Baby Group, Scarlett has the perfect life. A beautiful baby girl named Poppy and a handsome well to-do husband name Ed. Unfortunately, Scarlett's perfect life is about to end. Someone up loads up a video from when Scarlett of was 23 and having a threesome with 2 other men.The only people who seem to claim they haven't seen the video are the friends in her mom's group. Scarlett needs to look into her past to find out who is out to get her.

It's a really thrilling and engrossing read that is filled with lies and deceptions. I really recommend this book.

I would like to think Caroline Corcoran, Avon Books UK, and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book and exchange for a fair and honest review.

This was an excellent domestic thriller that I enjoyed reading. The storyline literally kept me glued to the pages. I can’t recommend the book enough!

Thank you to @avon_books and @carolinecorcoranwriter for the advanced copy of this via @netgalley
This has been a fantastic read which I haven’t been able to put down. I thought I’d guessed where it was going and then the author completely threw me off track. I was left a little speechless which doesn’t happen very often. I cannot say anything negative about this book. I have loved it!! It’s highly deserving of five stars.
Definitely one I will be recommending.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. This was my first book by this author and it was a good one! Lies. Secrets. Hidden pasts all over this book! Twists you didn’t see coming. Relationships you didn’t see coming! Did not have this one figured out at all!

I couldn't put this book down! It was really good! Kept me turning the pages that's for sure!
I defiantly thought I knew what was going to happen, but no! So many twists I love it! Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this! Definitely my kind of book! Can't wait to see more from this author!

#TheBabyGroup #NetGalley
Corcoran knows what her readers want from her. A true entertainer of all time. Highly recommended.
Everyone has friends and here's no exception. Meet Scarlett, Cora, Emma and Asha. They're four mom's to four babies, Poppy, Penelope, Seth and Ananya. They met at NCT and since then they're friends, such good friends.
Everything was going perfect till 4th of May on which a sex tape of Scarlett with her ex, Ollie and Mitch, a random guy from bar is send to everyone who knows Scarlett. The message is clear someone wants to hurt Scarlett badly. Someone wants to destroy her.
Her husband Ed gets a shock after seeing that video and everything between them is changed forever. Ed becomes suspicious of his wife. He thinks that his wife is still sleeping with that Ollie guy. Scarlett thinks the same for her husband that he's sleeping with a girl.
Scarlett loses her job. She's angry, pathetic, emotional and at the same time is paranoid. Now she starts to think that who wants to destroy her. And if someone knows her this secret then maybe someone knows her biggest secret which would really destroy her for forever.
Then she figured out who is behind that thing. Now her doubt is on her three NCT friends who claimed previously thet they didn't see her video.
Someone among her three friends hates her that much but who? To know all the answers you've to read this brilliant psychological thriller.
I personally think that to end Ed's character in that way is not what I expected. But it's ok if you're showing strong female characters.
Characters of the story are awesome. I personally like Emma, Scarlett, Ed, Felicity, Cora and Mitch. Other characters were good but didn't have much role in the story like Asha, Ollie etc.
Narration of the story is flawless. This story is told from three POV's., well these three are main so I mention them. First POV is of Scarlett, second is of Emma and third is an anonymous person. Although Cora's POV cones later but they're major POV's.
Overall this is must read psychological thriller. I really highly recommend this novel to everyone.
Thanks to NetGalley and Avon for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.

This is the first book I have read by Caroline Corcoran and it won't be my last! Loved the characters and the story line. Kept me glued to the pages until the very end. Thank you to NetGalley and thye publisher for the advanced copy. I cannot wait to recommend this book.

I loved this book and couldn't put it down , Scarlett a new mum is just returning to work after maternity leave , on her first day back all her colleagues and friends and family are sent a very compromising video from her past , the only people that don't seem to know anything about it are her new friends who she met in ante natal classes and have become close after the birth of their children . Obviously as we read more we come to realise that Scarlett may be placing her trust in entirely the wrong people . As her relationship with her husband Ed continues to flail and more and more people are finding out about Scarlett's past she may actually be in real danger . Brilliant

This is a great take on the thriller/mystery genre.

This will keep you guessing until the end. Whilst I had an idea of who was behind it, I had no idea why or how!

The writing is great and splits between Scarlett and Anon's perspectives seamlessly.

A must read for thsoe looking for a new take on the classic whodunnit

Making friends with new mums suddenly became all the more important for Scarlett when something she did in her post resurfaces (for just about everyone to see). Her new pals haven’t come across it, and for this, Scarlett is grateful. Her carefully planned life, her gorgeous husband, lovely wee baby, great job, are all under attack and she needs people in her life who won’t judge her. But as her need to find solace intensifies – and the plot turns in ways you can’t imagine – Scarlett begins to realise that not everyone is as friendly and empathetic as they suggest. I particularly loved the ending and the bittersweet note that runs through the book.
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

The Baby Group by Caroline Corcoran was a good and quick read. Scarlett thought she had the perfect life, with a adorable child and a successful husband, until someone starts sending a video from her past to her family and co-workers. This book was very well written with lots of twists and kept me guessing. Thanks Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Another addictive read from Caroline Corcoran. I read her first novel and this one is just as good. I couldn’t put it down.

Scarlett, Cora, Emma and Asha are four women who have just had babies and have formed a group which meets regularly and spends time together as mothers and with their families.

The novel centres around Scarlett who is due back to work and the initial chapters highlight her feelings on leaving her baby, delving back into the work environment and the mixed emotions of it all. However, as soon as she reaches the office, she realises something is wrong. Her immediate boss shows her the sex-video that has been sent to all of her work colleagues, family, clients and many others.

The havoc this creates is enormous including the impact on her marriage and ability to go back to work. She endeavours to find out who posted it online and after meeting the two men in the video she doesn’t believe it is either of them.

The storyline twists and turns and is excellently plotted when the final reveal happens I was stunned.

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books UK and Caroline Corcoran for my ARC in return for my honest review.

Brilliant read and highly recommended.

The Baby Group by Caroline Corcoran is a chilling, thriller that demonstrates how little you really know your friends.

Outside looking in, Scarlett has a great life - beautiful baby daughter and handsome husband, posh job, nice house, her own mom blog and the start of a life as an influencer - until someone emails everyone on her email list a link to a sex tape. The tape is old, but the devastation it brings to her life is new.

Everyone has seen the tape except the women who are her mum friends - Asha, Emma and Cora. She believes she knows these women intimately, has become closer to them than she has ever imagined she would, but she starts to see that something isn't right. There isn't an anonymous person or vengeful ex out to hurt her - the danger to her life, her livelihood and her marriage is much closer. The danger may, in fact, be someone she has called friend.

The Baby Group is very, very good, readers won't want to put the book down. This book will keep your attention for the roller coaster ride it delivers. Told from Scarlett's point of view and the anonymous person out to destroy her, the tale unravels and twists into a dark story about how our past mistakes can haunt us into our futures.

Such a gripping story! I couldn't put this one down. I thought the characters were so well written and believable. Great to see a story like this about motherhood and deception - loved the idea and stayed up late to find out what happened. I highly recommend this book and will be telling everyone about it.

Thank you Caroline Corcoran, Avon Books UK, and Netgalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this book! I know it's an early ARC,, but my grammar pet peeve was all over this book! "Poppy and ME got in the car." However, that doesn't affect my rating for this book. This was a great read, even though I figured out who leaked the video about partway through, I didn't know the rest of what was going on. And there was a lot going on! Scarlett is not a sympathetic character, I really disliked her. But I was kept guessing about a lot of the things that were going on, and the ending was unexpected.

This book was a incredible! I could barely put it down. Twists and turns in every nook and cranny. It was just what I needed to pull me out of my book slump.

this story was just brilliant i so enjoyed Scarlett has it all a loving husband and a baby daughter she has her own blog and is time to go back to work .she has her own mummy group of friends. but what happens when something comes back from your past and ruins everything who do you trust am not saying no more but i so recommend

I absolutely loved this book - it had me on the edge of my seat throughout. I especially liked the different perspective chapters as I thought I knew who it was, but then a spanner would be thrown in the works and I would be left unsure again. This is something that I have not seen in recent books and I really enjoyed it! I would definitely read this book again and recommend it to others. It was easy to get into and I instantly fell in love with the main character. I felt everything that she went through - something only an excellent writer can convey!

Scarlett is happily married to Ed and is due back to her high profile job after maternity leave.
Her past carries a number of secrets which Scarlett has not divulged to anybody.
During her first week back to work everybody that Scarlett seems to know receives a video of a personal secret she has kept hidden. Her life is turned into absolute turmoil as not only does she try to find out who is behind this malice but finds herself quitting her job, her marriage is in jeopardy and Scarlett sinks to a very low place.
The only people unaware of this video are her 3 friends of a year who she met through an nct class. They help her through her dark moments and are there to support her as things get tough.
This book holds a huge twist as we slowly discover who is behind this malicious behaviour and their apparent motives.
A cleverly written book where jealousy and revenge have devastating consequences.

This is the author’s second psychological thriller but the first I’ve read. I really enjoyed “The Baby Group”. It has a good selection of characters, nice and nasty! More twists than a never ending maze! I thought I knew who to trust, only to be proved wrong numerous times. A great read and now I’m going to read her first book “Through The Wall” very soon.

Scarlett is hoping to be an influencer. With almost 8000 followers she is on her way to making money out of her blog 'Cheshire Mum' when her world falls apart. A sex tape of her with two men is sent to almost everyone she knows. Her father, husband, workmates and most of her friends. Only her newest group of friends are kept in the dark. Who could hate her enough to do this?

I raced through this in an afternoon. It is very readable and I liked how it sheds light on the emptiness of social media and how it forces (enables?) many people to put forward a view of their life that is totally at odds with reality. I have to say though that most of the characters were not all that pleasant and I'm pleased that my friends aren't like Scarlett's. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

A very interesting and compelling thriller that explores how close we can feel to people that we actually don’t know much about. Someone sends a sex tape of Scarlett to everyone she knows- family, friends, colleagues- everyone except her friends in her new mom group. The video has nasty repercussions through her life and she depends more and more on her ‘mom friends’ until she realizes that she barely knows who they are outside of their mom roles. I thought the author did a great job at making pretty much all of the characters unlikeable but still compelling me to care about what happened to them.

I really enjoyed this book. I've never read anything by Caroline Corcoran but I think I'm going to seek out more of her novels. Scarlett is a new mom. She ends her maternity leave and goes back to a job she loves. On her first day back, an email from an anonymous person sends her life into a whirlwind. Her past has come back to haunt her. Things she thought were buried deep. Her life starts to fall apart piece by piece while she tries to figure out who is doing this to her. While reading, your mind will think it is one person and then another until you get your answer. Great beach read, great book to read on a train or a plane. Wherever you read it, you will enjoy this suspenseful thriller.

This book taps into the fear that many people probably feel in these days of social media shaming: something from the past being made public that you never wanted anyone to find out about. In Scarlett's case it is a threesome caught on camera that comes back to haunt her. As her life begins to fall apart, she tries to work out who would have sent it to everyone she knows.

I found this book an interesting and fun read. It has a lot to say about the way women are treated for their sexual past, how we try to present a particular version of ourselves online and to the world, and the strange kinds of friendships that spring up between women who are thrown together simply by having babies around the same time. Scarlett isn't fully likeable but she is fully understandable, and I appreciated being given such a complex and thorny protagonist. (Her husband Ed, on the other hand, is a terrible and thoroughly unsupportive person.)

I guessed a couple of the main twists, and the eventual revelations were all a bit melodramatic and unrealistic. I also found the book rather overwritten, veering towards purple prose at times. There's a fine line. But none of those points prevented it from being a fun and interesting read.

Really enjoyed!! No waffling or hanging onto tedious details, and what I especially loved was that it got going straight away, a lot of the time a book drags for me at first but this one actually had me gripped from page 1 right up until the very last!
I wasn't particularly struck on Scarlett but that didn't even matter, and was all part of the reasons why this was happening to her, so the author gave a great account here of her character and you kinda understood why someone might hate her and do the things they did (if you were that way inclined to act upon it the way it happened!) Thankfully my Mummy friends (or me BTW 😂) aren't anything like this bunch!
So for that reason it was great to lose myself in this and think Thank god I don't have pals like this 😅😅
Am now most definitely looking out for more books by Caroline. Great Read! Thank you #netgalley

Great book! When I first read the synopsis I didn't think I would enjoy reading it.....how wrong I was! Scarlett a new mum meets new friends when she has her baby. Do they really know each other? Is everyone's life true or is it just a show? The whole book flows really well and I really like the characters. I guessed parts of it but not others. A really good read

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the Arc of this book❤️ Also thanks to the author Caroline Corcoran❤️

Scarlett's life is broken when somebody sends a video of her from her past to everybody she knows... But only people who didn't receive the video was her baby group friends😱 but are her friends as innocent as they seem...?

She has become sort sort of celebrity due to her blog on Instagram about being a mum..and blogs and on her social media accounts but her co workers and family are the one to receive it... But who did it?

Such a compelling and gripping thriller, which kept you wanting more and such a page turner such a great book!

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Definitely a recommended read!❤️

Will review on Amazon and other websites once published❤️

Thanks again to Caroline Corcoran, NetGalley and Avon Books UK for this arc!!❤️

"I was so fixated on what everybody thought my life looked like that I stopped caring about what I thought it looked like. What it felt like."

Scarlett is a new mother who thrives in the age of social media. Running a successful parenting blog and working for a digital creative company, she is dependent on her online persona. Until, that is, an old sex tape is uploaded onto the infinite cyberspace and is sent to all of her family and friends, destroying her carefully constructed life.

The only people who do not receive or view the sex tape, interestingly enough, are her three new mom-friends whom she has bonded with over the woes of first-time parenting. The story is essentially a mystery as we, the readers, do not know who has a vendetta against Scarlett. We learn about her past that gives little hint about its relation to her present situation.

I must say, this book surprised me. I did figure out one "twist" in particular, but otherwise was guessing throughout each chapter as to who was Scarlett's enemy. I thought Corcoran did a terrific and believable job at fleshing out Scarlett's downward spiral, covering every base of an obliterated life following such a devastating blow to one's privacy.

A few things I have to note. Scarlett rambles quite often, so be prepared for numerous run-on sentences; I had to re-read paragraphs multiple times to understand what Scarlett was trying to say. I also didn't note the chemistry between Scarlett and the people in her life, both her husband and mom-friend-group included. Her husband was just flat out awful; I wasn't able to picture the ideal perfect man she had supposedly married years before.

In all, I did think this was an interesting read that certainly had me questioning the going-ons. Scarlett is easy to emphasize with; I truly felt a kinship with her because I think everyone has parts of their past they wish to remain buried, especially when trying to construct a new life. This definitely won't be the last I read of Caroline Corcoran's work.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books UK for allowing me the opportunity to read this book!

The Baby Group
Caroline Corcoran
Publication date -9/17/20
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4.5 stars!!!

This is a steamy psychological thriller at its finest! Scarlett looks like she has it all, a new raging blog and an adorable little girl and is married to quite a catch. She has found comfort in her new mommy playgroup. When you become a mom your whole life shifts from a career wife to a stay at home mom. You seek out new friendships so that you have an outlet with sharing your new world of having a baby. I was able to connect with these different women in the group and fondly remembered some of my first mommy friends. They helped one another with advice, coffee and sometimes a Moms night out!! Out of know where a sex tape is released of Scarlett with two men from 12 years ago.... it is sent to all of Scarlett’s family, work colleagues and pre mommy friends. It is destroying her life- her career, her relationships and possibly her blog. Who would do such a thing?? This story is filled with twists and turns I never saw coming!!! Sometimes dark this story also was very thought provoking. What a page turner, I highly recommend reading this gem!
Thank you to NetGalley for giving me an early release of The Baby Group.

Who needs enemies when you have friends like these? A capturing story that will have you enthralled from the beginning

A superb read!!!

Caroline Corcoran has a new fan - me!

This twisty suspense thriller is sure to keep the reader guessing and in suspense throughout the entire book!

Scarlett and Ed had a baby 14 months ago - Poppy. Scarlett is tight friends with three other women with whom she shared antenatal classes. Ed, Scarlett's husband, and Scarlett love one another. . Now with the advent of her return to work - Scarlett hates leaving Poppy yet is glad to be working again...

Then the nightmare only begins... Except for her three new friends, Scarlett's world begins to tumble down...

Many Thanks, as always, to Avon Books, UK and NetGalley for a great read!

With friends like these you certainly don’t need enemies!
Lots of twists and turns which kept the pace fast, it was full of all emotions and I felt each and every one of them. The description was spot on without overkill where I can ‘skip’ those sentences.
The characters were believable and I spent the time when I wasn’t trying to guess the end marrying them up to people I knew, fortunately I don’t have many of her friends in my circle of trust.
A good read to get lost in.

Influencer/mummy blogger Scarlett has everything, beautiful daughter, handsome husband, successful career, great house and a bunch of new mummy friends, who are beyond kind and helpful. Or are they?
What is lurking behind the scenes of perfection? Everyone has a past, and this one is dark.

Excellent domestic thriller, fantastic read.

Thank you for the arc of this book!

Wow, what a fantastic read. It was one of those books that was genuinely hard to put down, towards the end I was up Into the small hours desperate to get to the end and find out what happens!

The book is centred around a group of new (very different) mums from an NCT group who have all formed a formidable bond since the birth of their children. The main focus of the book is on Scarlett, who seemingly has it all, amazing home in a leafy suburb of Cheshire, a successful mummy influencer and a high flying media job she is about to return to after maternity leave, when disaster strikes and Scarlett’s world is turned upside down!
A sinister video from Scarlett’s very hedonistic past has come back to haunt her and has gone viral online and sent to everyone she holds close - aside from her mum friends!

Someone is out to get Scarlett and it is down to her to delve into her murky past and her new present to find out who!

The book is superbly written and full of deep twists and turns with an ending you truly don’t expect!

Absolutely fab book!

Firstly a big thanks to Avon for accepting my request to read on netgalley. I loved her debut earlier in the year so was eager to read this.

The title and cover alone are striking and really set the tone for the book.

Dark secrets from the past come to light but who is behind them. And why?

As the pages turn so do the friendships and the trust.

An exhilarating read and i think most mums can imagine the friends in this baby group.

Unpredictable and thrilling this is a great read . Packed with tension you cant help but feel the paranoia scarlett is feeling.

Published September 17th.

Gripped me from the first page. The realism of the relationship between the four women at the start of this book made me reminisce on my maternity leave and the bonds I formed with my fellow baby group mum's. The fond memories end there, for their relationship takes a very different turn. One of lies, deceipt and suspicion. This book will have you on the edge of your seat and unable to put it down until you reach the nail biting conclusion. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

This was a decent read, centered around Scarlett, a new mom who moved out to the country and got herself a group of mom friends. On the day she returns to work from maternity leave, someone sends a sex tape that was recorded ~15 years ago out to pretty much everyone she knows. The rest of the book has Scarlett questioning the decisions that she made, while trying to figure out who did this to her.

The book was fairly fast paced, though there were some times where I felt that Scarlett belabored or repeated points that didn't need further discussion. That being said, she was pretty introspective and some of that content took the reader along with her as she questions herself. I thought she overreacted initially to the sex tape being released- while embarrassing, it was also a long time ago, and I was surprised at how poorly she handled it. There were also a few grammatical errors (namely the use of "me" versus "I") in a couple places throughout the book.

I did figure out who the villain was, though I didn't figure out the reason for it until Scarlett herself did, and I second-guessed myself a couple times. There is another twist when you get to the big reveal that I did not see coming at all. I thought the back third of the book was really fast paced when it all came to a head.

I was satisfied with the ending of this book as well=- I thought the loose ends were tied up nicely, even if it maybe wasn't super realistic.

Overall, I found this to be a good read that was fast paced for the most part, with some interesting twists. Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I did enjoy this - I can’t deny I powered through finding it hard to put down, and I couldn’t wait to find out who dunnit! It lost a star because it was just so unbelievable!! Couple that with some pretty unpleasant characters and you got yourself a decent read - but I did wonder who would actually care that much in this day and age - after all it made Kim kardashian famous! Worth a read - but expect the very unexpected!

The Baby Group by Caroline Corcoran is a twisty and utterly addictive read that had me racing to the end with breathless anticipation. This was my first read from this author, but it certainly won't be the last.

Scarlett is returning to work following the birth of her daughter, Poppy, when a sex tape from years before materializes at her job. Scarlett is stunned and mortified. Why has this surfaced now, and who would want to humiliate her in this way? Is she being targeted because of her success as a local blogger? Scarlett is sure that one of the two men featured alongside her in the video must be responsible, but when each denies any knowledge, she begins to question who could possibly despise her enough to hurt her in this way.

Told primarily from Scarlett's perspective, with intermittent chapters in the ominous voice of 'Anon', whose hatred of Scarlett is almost tangible, this one will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for this ARC.

You know, these kind of books really get my back up, but I can’t stop reading them. I love them! The baby group did not disappoint, it had me hooked from the start and guessing until 3/4 of the way through. Would highly recommend

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.

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.

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 .

A good, easy read book, which alternates between Scarlett, and an unknown protagonist. There were only three potential suspects but there were enough clues along the way that all of them were suspicious at one time. I thought the impact of having such a tape released interesting, especially the impact on the people we are closest to. There were some unexpected twists and overall, a satisfactory ending.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

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 arc was provided to me by NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for a review*

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!

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.
