The Friend Group

Imagine hiding your pregnancy because your friend group has terrifying rules.

When my husband Jake received a promotion at his company, we thought it was a fantastic opportunity—except it required us to relocate to Thailand.

I was utterly lost as a newly minted expat in a foreign country. Even a simple task like buying groceries had become an ordeal. That was until I met Vivian, Jackie, and Kimmy. Those three women took me under their wings and helped me successfully navigate my new life. They’d become my besties.

I soon learned our friend group was the envy of the expat community. We were treated like royalty, and I experienced privilege beyond my wildest dreams—especially after I discovered I was pregnant.

For once, I felt everything in my life was going the right way... until I learned I’d taken a seat on a revolving chair. There were others before me, but they left the group, never to be heard from again. Vivian smiled and told me not to worry.

Of course, I’d heard the chatter outside the group: Break a rule, and you’ll be reminded with a courteous smile. Break two, and you’ll disappear.
