Thank you @simon.audio for the #giftedbook. 

A couple who are eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child seem to have the perfect life. Until a pushy roommate encroaches on their happiness. 

Not going to lie- I wasnโ€™t sure about this one for two reasons. First, itโ€™s billed as โ€œfor fans of Gone Girl.โ€ We must stop equating everything to Gone Girl. Stop getting my hopes up that another book will match the Gone Girl gold standard. Second, I started Magpie right after I finished listening to All I Want- which also featured a couple getting ready to have their first baby. All I Want didnโ€™t knock my socks off and I was afraid two psychological thrillers with pregnant main characters would be too much of the same thing. I was pleasantly surprised that Magpie was much better than All I Want. 

I donโ€™t want to go into detail about Magpieโ€™s plot because I donโ€™t want to give anything away. But the big twist in this one made sense to me. This was a much more satisfying ending than the wtf ending of All I Want. The writing was good and the characters were interesting. I loved the passive aggressive bitchy mother. Tanya Reynoldsโ€™ narration was very entertaining. โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

TW- infertility, miscarriage. 

Predictive text time: The key to happiness is______________.

The key to happiness is that you can always get a new set of pots. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I got a new set of non-stick pots a few months ago so I guess I really did find the key to happiness. ๐Ÿ˜€
