The Party | 
panThe synopsis made the book sound really interesting. But, actually a mediocre use of a decent setup. Decent for an utmost beginner. Simple language, super average characters and many fillers. Just a book with lots and lots of bad decisions by every character. Nothing in particular stayed with me. There are better books with good plot and thrill. Any other recommendation by the author?
2/5🌟
Picked up another book that has been sitting on my shelves for way too long…
Also, I‘ve already read 10 books so far this year!! Who am I?!…I kinda like her
Halfway through this book and I'm still waiting for it to get dark. Also, it has so many fillers which hamper the pace. I don't think it'll be a good one.😑
Happy Birthday Weekend @LiteraryinLawrence !! Party to the MAX!! 🎉🥳🎉 Let the celebration begin with lots of #birthdaylove from Litsyland and the #birthdayfairies and continue with an abundance of fun and laughter.
Hope your day is awesome in every way!! ❤️

soooo yeah this happened...binged this author and my favorite one was the swap and the party...if you have never heard of this author now you have so go try her and see... #readinggoal #audiophile #readinglife
pickOverall, I liked this book. It started off strong with drama and suspense when Hannah has her sweet 16 birthday party and things end badly. After awhile the parental drama went a little flat for me and became super focused on money. The ending was interesting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #MountTBR
pickAn incident at a sleepover birthday party starts a shitshow and all the characters (who were all awful) make so many horrible decisions, but darn if it didn‘t keep me turning the pages! A quick, interesting read.

pickWow, this book was intense! So many bad decisions leading to worst decisions- and I couldn't put it down. If you enjoy screaming at horror movies (What? Don't go up in to the attic! You are in danger, girl!), then you'll love shaking your head at all of the terrible choices the characters make.
I have never been happier not to be an upper class parent in my entire life. This is a tough listen because between the teens and the parents there are SO MANY bad choices being made! #audiobook #TBR #cantputdown
2 more hours left for #24b4monday. Just started reading this beauty.
Probably won‘t make 24 hours but close enough. 😏

so-soI didn‘t like this book - the characters were hard to like and the storyline wasn‘t that interesting. Took awhile for me to read.
I have so many good audiobooks right now! 🤩😍 I woke up to find that my hold on The Party was ready, so I‘ll be listening to that one after Nappily Ever After. ♥️ #SummersEndReadathon
pickThere seems to be a lot of mediocre reviews for this one, but I was entertained! It feels a lot like a Liane Moriarty novel where it revolves around one dramatic event and you're waiting for the truth of the events to unfold. I was a bit thrown by the ending, but it wasn't bad, just surprising.
If you like a mindless read with scandal, this is perfect for you!
so-soIt‘s all fun and games at Hannah‘s sweet 16, until she and her friends break the rules. What results is a true test of morality and friendship.
A friend told me to read this so I did. I didn‘t love it, I didn‘t hate it. It‘s definitely one of those quick summer reads that holds your attention by the pool. #foolishgames #lilithjuly
so-soIt was a fast read, but not a great one. The characters are unlikable(all of them) and the ending was a bit abrupt and definitely lacking.
I think back on my teenage years and wonder if the books are way off or if I was just totally blind to this stuff happening around me. I wasn't popular but I wasn't unpopular either. I was somewhere in between, it wasn't an awful place to be. Is this extreme popularity the make you or break kind a real thing... anyone have experience with this?
Now that all the bathrooms have been cleaned and the floors have been mopped I can kill time until the end of my shift reading a little bit. Has anyone read this yet? #booksatwork #sneakyreading #bossprobablyknowsimreading
pickBook 28: I‘ve never read a book where all the main characters were just genuinely awful people... but I strangely liked it. Moral of this story- don‘t have children because teenagers are awful and will ruin your life. (Joking... sort of)
so-soThis book was a bit nothing to me. Just a series of shit things happening. I kept waiting for a twist or an amazing ending, but it was nothing but consistent the whole time. Still an easy quick read though
so-soWhen an innocent sweet sixteen party goes horribly wrong, questions about culpability are raised, a bitter lawsuit ensues, and secrets are revealed. The Party immediately grabbed my attention and kept me interested, and it was shaping up to be a pretty solid domestic thriller. However, the ending was a major letdown and it was lacking in suspense and tension. I loved Harding‘s other book, Her Pretty Face, but this one was meh. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterP
so-soEveryone‘s a critic! Lots of unlikable characters. And is microdosing really that big of a deal to these wealthy bastards? Still, I liked the writing and found this to be an enjoyable way to pass a rainy day.

so-soWhen I started this, I got very into it. And it kept me interested, even though I disliked most of the characters. And the ending just really got under my skin. ⭐️⭐️ 1/2
panOne teenage girl‘s slumber party led to a terrible tragedy. Lots of family drama, teenage angst, substance use and the horrible effects of bullying in this one. But it‘s hard for me to enjoy a book when I didn‘t like any of the characters. They all seemed selfish and superficial.
so-soThis wasn‘t what I was expecting and at times I felt like I was reading a YA book. It was a quick,fast read but I didn‘t particularly enjoy it. The characters weren‘t likeable or relatable and the twist I was hoping for, to redeem it, never came. Despite that, it wasn‘t terrible, the author has a nice writing style but it‘s definitely not the must read I was hoping for. If you‘ve got it already it‘s worth a read but I wouldn‘t go out and buy it.

panSpring Break Book Report Part 2: ai-yai-yai...this book made me cringe. I was hoping for an end with some kind of redemption or something satisfying but alas these characters were just TOO awful.
Pretty in pink! Gifted myself with this book (& new bookmark). Love reading about birthday parties that go horrifically wrong! 🎂🔪
Kim knew human nature could be ugly, and teenaged human nature was the ugliest of all 🍾💰
Wheeee! Look what was in my #secretsantagoespostal box! Lots of yummies and a stack of books I'm super excited about. Particularly THE PARTY. Thank you so much, @LauraJ !!!!

pick4⭐️It‘s scary how quickly your life and that of your family can be altered forever. With the turn of every page, THE PARTY reveals multiple lives spinning out of control by lies, deception and cover-up. ROBYN HARDING‘s writing is smooth and easy to read. It‘s about what really happened at the party that night. It‘s a parent‘s worst nightmare. https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/168111726894/the-party-robyn-harding-my-ratin...
Came across this book in an On the Shelf newsletter, and I'm intrigued! I did love Big Little Lies, and it does sound like a similar path with gossip, kids birthdays, and possibly a crazy twist. Definitely stacked!!
pickI enjoyed this book. It was an easy read yet kept you interested enough to keep reading. I was a little disappointed at the ending but overall a good book. Definitely one to read whilst travelling or on holiday.
