THE PARTY (Robyn Harding) - July 5/19

I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. At first it seemed like another generic Big Little Lies-esque drama but I definitely grew more and more attached to the characters as the book unfolded. Harding does a nice job of transforming all the protagonists into surprisingly compelling figures, and I thought the ending was quite satisfying, too. (Hannah plots her comeback as a popular girl at school.) ***1/2 out of ****
