The Baby Group by Caroline Corcoran was a good and quick read. Scarlett thought she had the perfect life, with a adorable child and a successful husband, until someone starts sending a video from her past to her family and co-workers. This book was very well written with lots of twists and kept me guessing. Thanks Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I loved this book so much! This book it's about Scarlett the one woman that has a perfect life (sigh) whose life is shattered when someone uploads a very damaging video that is so damaging. So the people in the baby group don't seem bothered about it but y'all know how the story goes.it's amazing and y'all I couldn't get enough of it. Loved it. Thank you Avon and NetGalley for my copy.

Another addictive read from Caroline Corcoran. I read her first novel and this one is just as good. I couldn’t put it down.
Scarlett, Cora, Emma and Asha are four women who have just had babies and have formed a group which meets regularly and spends time together as mothers and with their families.
The novel centres around Scarlett who is due back to work and the initial chapters highlight her feelings on leaving her baby, delving back into the work environment and the mixed emotions of it all. However, as soon as she reaches the office, she realises something is wrong. Her immediate boss shows her the sex-video that has been sent to all of her work colleagues, family, clients and many others.
The havoc this creates is enormous including the impact on her marriage and ability to go back to work. She endeavours to find out who posted it online and after meeting the two men in the video she doesn’t believe it is either of them.
The storyline twists and turns and is excellently plotted when the final reveal happens I was stunned.
Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books UK and Caroline Corcoran for my ARC in return for my honest review.
Brilliant read and highly recommended.

The Baby Group by Caroline Corcoran is a chilling, thriller that demonstrates how little you really know your friends.
Outside looking in, Scarlett has a great life - beautiful baby daughter and handsome husband, posh job, nice house, her own mom blog and the start of a life as an influencer - until someone emails everyone on her email list a link to a sex tape. The tape is old, but the devastation it brings to her life is new.
Everyone has seen the tape except the women who are her mum friends - Asha, Emma and Cora. She believes she knows these women intimately, has become closer to them than she has ever imagined she would, but she starts to see that something isn't right. There isn't an anonymous person or vengeful ex out to hurt her - the danger to her life, her livelihood and her marriage is much closer. The danger may, in fact, be someone she has called friend.
The Baby Group is very, very good, readers won't want to put the book down. This book will keep your attention for the roller coaster ride it delivers. Told from Scarlett's point of view and the anonymous person out to destroy her, the tale unravels and twists into a dark story about how our past mistakes can haunt us into our futures.

Such a gripping story! I couldn't put this one down. I thought the characters were so well written and believable. Great to see a story like this about motherhood and deception - loved the idea and stayed up late to find out what happened. I highly recommend this book and will be telling everyone about it.

The premise of this book sounded great and the reviews were very promising. However, I really struggled to get into it. The first few chapters felt jumpy, with lots of characters and time shifts, which was distracting and took awhile to get past. Ultimately, it didn't hold my interest, but I would definitely consider reading something else by this author in the future.

Thank you Caroline Corcoran, Avon Books UK, and Netgalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this book! I know it's an early ARC,, but my grammar pet peeve was all over this book! "Poppy and ME got in the car." However, that doesn't affect my rating for this book. This was a great read, even though I figured out who leaked the video about partway through, I didn't know the rest of what was going on. And there was a lot going on! Scarlett is not a sympathetic character, I really disliked her. But I was kept guessing about a lot of the things that were going on, and the ending was unexpected.

This book was a incredible! I could barely put it down. Twists and turns in every nook and cranny. It was just what I needed to pull me out of my book slump.

Mystery that is character driven...so many characters I had a problem keeping track. However, for those who like this type of story, a good read.

this story was just brilliant i so enjoyed Scarlett has it all a loving husband and a baby daughter she has her own blog and is time to go back to work .she has her own mummy group of friends. but what happens when something comes back from your past and ruins everything who do you trust am not saying no more but i so recommend

This is a great take on the thriller/mystery genre.
This will keep you guessing until the end. Whilst I had an idea of who was behind it, I had no idea why or how!
The writing is great and splits between Scarlett and Anon's perspectives seamlessly.
A must read for thsoe looking for a new take on the classic whodunnit

A tight thriller with twists and turns every chapter, this book provides both an insight into the weird world of those creepy mummies who care for little beyond the superficial and how good their turmeric lattes look on Instagram as well as a mystery about who betrayed the main character.
It's very hard to review this title without giving too much away, but suffice it to say that the characters are the 'love-to-hate' species, with a lot of traits that make them deeply unenviable. This has the unfortunate flip side of making it rather difficult to connect to anyone in the book who is genuine and likeable, but it does bear with it the fact that it makes you suspicious of everybody, which is what you want in a book like this.
I also enjoyed the way in which there are so many different versions of ourselves that we project out to people, and how things change depending on our present circumstances and socioeconomic class. I do feel this could have been a little more explicit in parts, but it raised some interesting points regarding what we become in the comfort trappings of everyday life. This book has a great premise, and lots of twists, but could have been taken just that little bit further in terms of shock value.

I couldn't put this book down! It was really good! Kept me turning the pages that's for sure!
I defiantly thought I knew what was going to happen, but no! So many twists I love it! Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this! Definitely my kind of book! Can't wait to see more from this author!

Scarlet's life seems perfect. She has a loving husband, an adorable daughter, and a successful parenting blog. Until one day, a sex tape featuring her younger self is sent to everyone she knows; her family, her husband, her work colleagues. The only people that seem to be spared are Scarlet's fellow mum friends; Cora, Emma, and Asha.
As Scarlet's life starts unraveling, the only way to control the damage is to find the person who is out to get her.
The story alternates between Scarlet's perspective and that of an anonymous person who is behind the malicious campaign.
I was excited to be approved for this ARC as I found the blurb really intriguing.
It was an enjoyable read with a good premise. I liked the alternating narration, and even though there weren't many suspects, I didn't guess who the culprit was.
However, I found most of the book to be dragging. I was intrigued to find out who was trying to ruin Scarlet's life, and that propelled me to turn the pages, but it definitely didn't keep me on the edge of my seat.
Overall, it was a good entertaining read, and I'm curious to check out the author's previous novel, which it turns out I have on my Kindle already.

Corcoran knows what her readers want from her. A true entertainer of all time. Highly recommended.
Everyone has friends and here's no exception. Meet Scarlett, Cora, Emma and Asha. They're four mom's to four babies, Poppy, Penelope, Seth and Ananya. They met at NCT and since then they're friends, such good friends.
Everything was going perfect till 4th of May on which a sex tape of Scarlett with her ex, Ollie and Mitch, a random guy from bar is send to everyone who knows Scarlett. The message is clear someone wants to hurt Scarlett badly. Someone wants to destroy her.
Her husband Ed gets a shock after seeing that video and everything between them is changed forever. Ed becomes suspicious of his wife. He thinks that his wife is still sleeping with that Ollie guy. Scarlett thinks the same for her husband that he's sleeping with a girl.
Scarlett loses her job. She's angry, pathetic, emotional and at the same time is paranoid. Now she starts to think that who wants to destroy her. And if someone knows her this secret then maybe someone knows her biggest secret which would really destroy her for forever.
Then she figured out who is behind that thing. Now her doubt is on her three NCT friends who claimed previously thet they didn't see her video.
Someone among her three friends hates her that much but who? To know all the answers you've to read this brilliant psychological thriller.
I personally think that to end Ed's character in that way is not what I expected. But it's ok if you're showing strong female characters.
Characters of the story are awesome. I personally like Emma, Scarlett, Ed, Felicity, Cora and Mitch. Other characters were good but didn't have much role in the story like Asha, Ollie etc.
Narration of the story is flawless. This story is told from three POV's., well these three are main so I mention them. First POV is of Scarlett, second is of Emma and third is an anonymous person. Although Cora's POV cones later but they're major POV's.
Overall this is must read psychological thriller. I really highly recommend this novel to everyone.
Thanks to NetGalley and Avon for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.

This is the first book I have read by Caroline Corcoran and it won't be my last! Loved the characters and the story line. Kept me glued to the pages until the very end. Thank you to NetGalley and thye publisher for the advanced copy. I cannot wait to recommend this book.

I loved this book and couldn't put it down , Scarlett a new mum is just returning to work after maternity leave , on her first day back all her colleagues and friends and family are sent a very compromising video from her past , the only people that don't seem to know anything about it are her new friends who she met in ante natal classes and have become close after the birth of their children . Obviously as we read more we come to realise that Scarlett may be placing her trust in entirely the wrong people . As her relationship with her husband Ed continues to flail and more and more people are finding out about Scarlett's past she may actually be in real danger . Brilliant

First time reading this author and wont be the last. Good thriller twists and turns. Keeps you on the edge of your seat just didn't want the Book to end
