The Baby Shower
S.E. Lynes
⭐: 5/5
I LOVED this book for so many reasons!
Pros: Lynes is a brilliant composer of words, plots, and characters! Her writing style skips word repetition (huge pet peeve of mine), feels quite conversational, and drew me in to where I lost HOURS.
I was so wrapped up in the subplot that I forgot about the initial until Lynes tied them back together. Definitely didn't expect that!
I also related to one of the MCs, Jane, in the realm of infertility. I have the same exact diagnosis and was diagnosed at the same age, have mama issues, have been with my husband for more than ten years, and am very close with my group of people.
The infertility was warned to me as a trigger, but I honestly found it quite relieving to see it being talked about, especially my condition that's considered fairly rare. Everything about this is so good!
Cons: I have exactly one con and that's the ending. I won't spoil it, but will say most people will love it, as it's a happy one. I just was a little ruffled because life definitely doesn't imitate art here. However, it's a SUPER easy thing to overlook considering how beautifully and brilliantly The Baby Shower is written!
Conclusion: if you're craving a messed up story that pulls you in from the gate, THIS is it!
