Our story revolves around a woman named Kendra, who decides to be a surrogate. Sounds simple and altruistic, right? Wrong! Enter a couple who seem perfectly charming but turn out to be as wholesome as a fast food meal. Kendra is given the chance to earn a good chunk of change and do a good deed, all while providing some people with a baby. But we all know it's never that easy, and Kendra learns this the hard way.

Things get spicy when Kendra realizes that her "intended parents" are harboring dark secrets that could rival a soap opera. Just when she thinks everything is going well, it becomes a gripping tale of manipulation, obsession, and betrayal. Because what's a good psychological thriller without a good dose of paranoia?

As if things couldn't get more twisted, Kendra finds herself caught in a web of lies where loyalty is as rare as finding a unicorn. Suddenly, being a surrogate doesn't just mean putting your body and heart on the line; it's a full-blown battle for survival as creepy phone calls and mysterious messages start to pour in.

One minute, you'll feel sympathy for Kendra's "difficult" decision, and the next, you'll be flipping the pages, screaming, "Run, Kendra, run!" It's like watching a game of chess where all the pieces are on fire and the king is juggling chainsaws. You don't know whether to cheer her on or send her a plane ticket out of there!

And just when you think you've figured out the twists, the plot goes full-on pretzel and twists in ways that make you question if any of that yogurt you ate was even beneficial. The suspense builds to a climax that's more explosive than fireworks on the Fourth of July, leaving you with a resolution that's sure to leave your jaw on the floor and a dramatic twist that you won't see coming.

So grab your snacks and settle in for a wild ride that will make you reconsider your own baby-making plans (maybe stick to adoption, folks). In The Surrogate Mother, Freida McFadden serves up psychological thrills with a side of "Oh no, they didn't!", and trust me, it's definitely addictive. Just remember: don't overthink it; it's just a book. or is it?
