Publisher Description

THE INSPIRATION FOR FX'S AMERICAN HORROR STORY: DELICATE STARRING EMMA ROBERTS AND KIM KARDASHIAN

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK

As seen in People, Vanity Fair, Variety, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Shondaland, and more!

Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a grueling IVF journey, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments get swapped without her knowledge. Cryptic warnings have her jumping at shadows. And despite everything she's gone through to make this pregnancy a reality, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her.

Then her doctor tells her she's had a miscarriage—except Anna's convinced she's still pregnant despite everything the grave-faced men around her claim. She can feel the baby moving inside her, can see the strain it's taking on her weakening body. Vague warnings become direct threats as someone stalks her through the bleak ghost town of the snowy Hamptons. As her symptoms and sense of danger grow ever more horrifying, Anna can't help but wonder what exactly she's carrying inside of her…and why no one will listen when she says something is horribly, painfully wrong.

Delicate Condition Reviews

3.5
“I cannot put this look down. It was addicting. I had to force myself to put it down at 2:30 in the morning at 70%. I started it at 9 PM. It’s weird. It’s gross in some parts heart wrenching happy it’s sad. It’s weird. I have no words for this book. Just go read it but check your trigger warnings first. Favorite quotes: “ we all give something up and exchange for our babies nearly everyone on this planet was welcome by the town of a women screaming” “ a part of me even thought maybe I deserved it that things were going too well and I was overdue for some trauma” “ going over everything I’ve done the night before, searching for gaps in my memory I couldn’t think of any, but that’s the thing about not being able to remember something isn’t it? You don’t know that you’re not remembering the picture and you head feels like the truth, even if it’s a lie” “ if you leave your trash outside overnight, you don’t blame the bear who comes by and rip it open drawn by the smell you blame yourself””
“I can see why this was inspiration for American Horror Story....creepy!!! I didn't want to put this book down but had to because some parts are hard to stomach. Overall a unique plot and gripping storyline. It had me feeling like I was going crazy...not just the narrator. I would recommend this book to anyone that does not wish to birth a child, all I have to say!”
“I enjoyed the environment in this story and there were some real intense moments but the more I think about this story the more problems I find. - Was Dex literally ever a good partner?? I fear the betrayal wasn’t shocking - Anna was so privileged yet she is the one the witches seek out? the ones who are incredibly desperate? - typos :(”
