A review by purrfectreads
Woman on the Edge by Samantha M. Bailey

3.0

Imagine waiting for your train and someone says ‘take my baby’ and hands her to you before she jumps in front of the oncoming train. That’s exactly what happens to Morgan and her life is instantly changed. Morgan doesn’t know why this woman gave her her baby, but now she is being questioned by the police about it and they are suspicious of her. Did this woman really kill herself or did Morgan push her? The story is being told in dual perspectives; by Morgan in present day and by Nicole, the mother, leading up to this incident.

Each woman's chapter was very gripping as you got further into the book and learned more about each of them. I couldn’t put it down as I wanted to know what happened in Nicole’s life that she’d do this as well as why she picked Morgan to have her daughter.

There was a lot going on in the book, which was a good thing because it kept it fast paced and enjoyable. Although I do wish it was slowed down maybe just a little bit. You were given a lot of information and a lot of things to process all at once, and they kept coming. It did keep me reading and I finished this in a day, but I also wish it spread out the suspense a little more.

Overall I enjoyed this book and was hooked from the beginning. Unfortunately there were a few things that were just too unbelievable and the ending was wrapped up too perfectly that I couldn’t give it a higher rating, but I did enjoy it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
