A book I wish had been written before I had my babies… wow it would have prepared me far more realistically than any ‘the first year‘ nonsense I read. The portrayal of female friendship is one of the best and most accurate I‘ve ever read. You might not love every character (I don‘t think you are supposed to) but this is a fantastic read.

This was all kinds of crazy and completely OTT, but I loved it!

4 friends in their 30s, who met at uni, attend the baby shower from hell (including a vulva piñata!). They‘re all going through different stages in life so are growing apart.

The mysterious Phoebe turns up, tensions rise, and there‘s a fire, but who started it?

It‘s a very propulsive read but so much so that I felt the ending, with its big whodunit reveal, was a bit of a let-down.

BarbaraBB It sounds crazy 🤪 8mo

sarahbarnes Wow, I‘m stacking it now! 7mo

Popped into the library to pick up the tagged, which I‘d reserved, and may have accidentally picked up 3 others as well. Not sure how that happened. 🤔 And I definitely haven‘t got enough books of my own to read, or eleventy-seven ARCs. 🤷‍♀️

I hadn‘t heard of In Universes and I‘m not sure it‘s *quite* my thing (not that keen on SF) but it was on the New Books shelf so I thought I‘d take a chance.

TiredLibrarian That's the beauty of library books; you can take a chance on things outside your norm and there's nothing to lose! 8mo

squirrelbrain Exactly! @TiredLibrarian - I wouldn‘t have bought it, but might end up loving it! 8mo

sarahbarnes I love doing that at the library! Going in to pick something up and browsing around. I haven‘t heard of the tagged but it sounds interesting! And what are those books in the background of your photo? 8mo

squirrelbrain There‘s been lots of talk about the tagged in the UK @sarahbarnes - it may be a bit ‘millennial‘ for me, but we‘ll see! The little books are a full set of Penguin Moderns. https://penguinmodern.com/ 8mo

sarahbarnes That‘s a really cool set! 8mo

Centique I love the eleventy-seven ARCs 😂😂 Good luck and hope theres some gold in that pile! 8mo

A heatwave, a baby shower and a group of best friends - what could go wrong?
Best friends since university and now the women in their thirties are all going in different directions. They all attend their best friends baby shower hoping to reconnect and celebrate. But tensions rise, words are said, the aftermath involves the police.
This was a book I just couldn‘t put down. It was a journey I didn‘t want to end! From start to finish I was hooked.
