The Baby by A.J. McDine

5.0

Since Lucy and her husband Miles had to move from Dubai, Lucy drinks to drown out the loneliness she feels. And while Lucy’s husband works out of town on an oil rig she is left to her own torture of how she lost her baby.
After Lucy wakes up after another blackout from drinking, she finds a baby in her living room. Where did it come from, did she steal it or is it hers?
Your significant other should be the one you trust and love “till death do you part.” But Lucy has been living in an alcohol fog for a while and will she start to realize that death might be better than the alternative?

Overall rating 5/5
I really enjoyed the originality of this book. I resonated with Lucy’s struggle with wanting to become a mother. McDine has a way of wrapping the reader in from beginning to end with multiple great twists. The narrator Tamsin Kennard voiced these characters so well and made me feel like I was truly there with them.
Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture Audio for this ARC.
