The Party

I started listening to The Party after I surprisingly enjoyed Robyn Harding's novel The Swap. However, this was a let down. All of the characters were vapid and unlikable. I know that's the point, but their flaws were so ridiculous, it was laughable. The central premise that the story is focused on, in itself, wasn't believable, so the fact that the entire book was about the ramifications of a party gone wrong was also unbelievable. There are so many other domestic thrillers that are much more nuanced than this one. While I started listening to the audiobook, I ended up switching to the ebook so I could get through the story faster.
