Synopsis

A truly unforgettable story about friendship, motherhood and how far we'll go to protect the ones we love. Filled with tension and mind-blowing twists, fans of Claire Douglas, Gillian McAllister and CL Taylor will love The Due Date.

You shared everything for nine months. But you don't know her at all.

When Ali meets Rebecca, she feels an instant connection. Both pregnant, with babies due the same day, Ali can't wait to share the highs and lows of motherhood with her new friend.

Rebecca is everything Ali wishes she could be - beautiful, confident, wealthy. But Ali senses in her the same loneliness she's been feeling since moving to the suburbs. Maybe they can help each other, and Ali won't feel so alone anymore.

Then their due date comes and goes, and Ali hears nothing for weeks. Worried about her friend, Ali tracks her down and is relieved to find Rebecca safe and well. But relief turns to shock when Rebecca denies ever meeting her... or ever having been pregnant at all.

I was completely absorbed by this book for about 70% and then it lost all credibility. What a disappointment when I was sure it was going to be at least a four star review now to be struggling between two and three. There are twists you would never guess ( well at least I didn’t ) but that’s more be......more
