Thank you @simonschusterca and @netgalley for a copy of Woman on the Edge by Samatha Bailey. This fast paced thriller is available November 26/19!

I’m going to preface this review with a few trigger warnings. Suicide, postpartum psychosis and anxiety as well as a few other baby related issues. Please feel free to DM for more information!

I can see how the Woman on the Edge has received so many good reviews. It is fast paced, starts right from the middle of the action and works out, but also has the viewpoint from the past so we see how everyone got to that point as well. That being said, this one did not work for me personally and I think it was the postpartum storyline again. I am still not able to read those in thrillers without remembering my own struggles and how those are still not 100% out of my life and that just does not allow me to connect or escape into the story. I just find myself skimming over them. And the other timeline was not enough to carry this book for me. I found Morgan to be unlikable and the storyline a bit jumpy.

But, like I said, there are many many great and amazing reviews for Woman on the Edge. So if postpartum storylines do not affect you in the same way, I highly recommend giving this one a chance. It was sadly just a miss for me,
