Synopsis

The pregnancy podcasts warned Joanna Baker about the baby blues, but when a near-fatal mistake places the first-time mom under the watchful eye of Child Protective Services, she receives a serious diagnosis: postpartum depression. Jo hears the words, yet they don’t make sense. Nothing does. Her blackouts are increasing, and she can’t recall events she’s been accused of. As she fights to keep her daughter, she discovers cracks in her neighborhood, family, and her own home. With the support of her sisters, she attempts to piece together her traumatic past and uncover who is truly in control. Jo must battle her faltering mind to save what’s most important: her daughter.

Rating 4.5 stars rounding up to 5 stars on Goodreads. Wow, I loved If I Lose Her! It’s so relatable for every mother, the exhaustion that comes with having a newborn/infant and I was hooked the entire way through. While I suspect the culprit, I kept having my doubts.
