Reviews with content warning for Miscarriage - A Influencer

A good premise, but some of the developments seemed to be more for shock than plot. I couldn't stand any of the characters except Dan, which I think was the authors point.

I found these characters downright unlikeable (doubtless purposeful by the author) but the plot captivating. A solid evaluation of the impact of social media and how the behind the scenes can be so different from the presented facts. A revenge plot in one of the saddest forms.

I chose to tackle my BOTM TBR with this one and only saw it’s really low rating after I’d already started.

First off, all of the “mama” culture quips were super cringy to me. I’ll give a pass on the Britishisms but since I’m from the US they weren’t speaking my language. I’m not sure what will make you hate this more - if you actually love “inspiring/raw/honest mama” influencers, or if you detest them.

My biggest logistical complaint was the antagonist’s POV being inserted in italics, randomly, in chapters that were labeled as the husband or wife’s POV. It was confusing at first and I still don’t get that choice.

The thriller part of this story was interesting. Some red herrings fooled me. In the end it wasn’t exactly twisty, but very depressing. After so much lead-up the climax/final challenge was swiftly resolved and I’m just left feeling badly for the antagonist.

That is especially because I did not really like either of the parents. I obviously can’t connect with them as a childless person, but there are some pretty detestable, horrible choices made here. And even worse, they didn’t learn from their mistakes. There’s no redemption here. Maybe that’s the point.

I would pick up something by these authors (it’s a husband and wife duo under a pen name) again. Not sure I need a hard cover of this one but it certainly held my interest.
