Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine
3.0
Delicate Condition is an intriguing story about an actress desperate to have a child after several years of infertility, but things begin to really go awry once she becomes pregnant. It is part horror, part mystery, and we're not sure if the narrator is reliable and who should be trusted.
Though I found the premise intriguing, I found the book to be a bit slow and drawn out. I appreciated the commentary about how medical professionals and even those close to us can gaslight women, especially when they're pregnant. So often we're told our experiences are normal and our pain is overlooked.
Thank you to the publisher for providing this ARC. All thoughts are my own.
