About this listen

 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.

Ali and Rebeeca, two lonely pregnant women, meet at the park and click instantly. Ali feels like finally someone gets her and they just happen to share the same due date. However after the due dates have been and gone, Ali struggles to get in touch with Rebecca. When she finally does, Rebecca tells her they have never met and that she was never pregnant.

I loved how the beginning got me all cosy and comfortable with all the relatable elements and then bam, the rollercoaster took off. 💯 my bag.

Short chapters, multi POV and the perfect pace for a seat gripping thriller. I was guessing right to the very end.

A big bravo!
