What I'm Reading: Pinky Swear by Danielle Girard

A review of a breakneck roadtrip thriller about friendship and becoming a mother

What if your best friend, who agreed to be your surrogate, disappears just days before your baby’s due date? This is the nightmare scenario Danielle Girard has spun into an intense thriller that questions how well you really know your oldest friends and how much you can trust your childhood memories. I couldn’t wait to get back to this book every time I had to put it down. Highly recommend this one!
