Book Review: Believe Me Not

Rating: 3/5

From Goodreads: What if everyone you love is lying to you?

When Megan wakes up in a hospital bed, her first question is: where's my baby?

But her husband, her sister, and her doctor said he doesn't exist.

Megan's not in a maternity ward, she's in a psychiatric unit.

Convinced that they're lying to her, Megan is determined to find out the truth.

But how can you prove your baby exists when you can't trust your own memories?

An utterly chilling psychological thriller with a heart-stopping twist. You'll love this if you enjoyed THE PERFECT FATHER, THE RECOVERY OF ROSE GOLD, or PLAYING NICE.

This review is spoiler free!

When Megan wakes up in a hospital bed, she realizes she's missing something.  Her baby.  The baby that everyone around her tells her never existed.  As she's treated for psychosis, Megan can't escape the feeling that her husband, sister, and her psychiatrist Dr. Mac, are all keeping something from her.

Believe Me Not was a ton of fun to read.  Fast paced and filled with endless twists and turns, I read this nearly in one sitting and truly enjoyed it.  

I wish there had been a bit more punch to the ending, as the whole thing felt like it was building to the biggest betrayal/reveal of all. However, compared to some of the other twists and reveals throughout, it was a tad lackluster.  

The whole thing felt a lot like a Lifetime movie in the best way with how over the top it got at parts, it was truly a fun thriller!
