Woman on the Edge by Samantha M. Bailey
5.0
This book was absolutely nuts, beginning to end.
Literally in the first chapter, we meet both the main characters and witness the way their two lives collide.
Morgan has had her share of troubles in the past. A fraudulent partner that commits suicide has left her estranged from friends and family, childless and lonely. Nicole seems to have it all - CEO of a successful business, great friends, loving husband, and pregnant with her daughter. Told in dual timelines, we see how Nicole unravels, and this inadvertently leads her to Morgan, and to thrusting her baby into Morgan’s arms before she jumps in front of a subway train. While Nicole may have thought she was leaving her daughter in the best hands, she unknowingly puts both her daughter and Morgan’s lives in danger…
This book could not be stopped. I was so invested in both timelines, and couldn’t wait to see how the lives of these two women ended up tangling together. The suspense of waiting to find out why Nicole committed suicide and gave her daughter to Morgan, and the suspense of Morgan dealing with being a suspect in Nicole’s suspicious death and investigating herself to try to clear her name kept me turning pages to the very end. I had my suspicions about who was responsible for terrorizing both women, but it still didn’t take anything out of this book for me. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for a thriller you just can’t put down!
