Delicate Condition
by Danielle Valentine
Crazy is as crazy does (7/10/2023)
If baby making is NOT on your mind…give this book a go. The story is told by an unreliable narrator, who knows she's unreliable, but it seems everyone else in this story is quite unreliable too!

Is Ms Alcott losing her mind or the victim of some really awful people driving her into crazy? That's one very compelling part of this story. The main character is constantly doubting what's real vs what's imagined in her life and it's a fun bit of intrigue for the reader. I willingly let the author take me on a wild ride and for the most part I really enjoyed it. I found this psychological thriller (mostly) set in modern America centered around a woman with fertility problems to be fast paced and suspenseful. Creepy flows into horrific as the plot is tinged with supernatural/elements of the occult. I wasn't too impressed with the ending, but that could be a personal taste issue. There were lots of different ways to wrap up the story, but the grand finale just didn't appeal to me.
