The Party by Robyn Harding - Retail Value $16.99 (On Amazon for $8.88)
Book Summary from Target:
In this stunning and provocative domestic drama about a sweet sixteen birthday party that goes horribly awry, a wealthy family in San Francisco finds their picture-perfect life unraveling, their darkest secrets revealed, and their friends turned to enemies.
One invitation. A lifetime of regrets.
Sweet sixteen. It’s an exciting coming-of-age, a milestone, and a rite of passage. Jeff and Kim Sanders plan on throwing a party for their daughter, Hannah—a sweet girl with good grades and nice friends. Rather than an extravagant, indulgent affair, they invite four girls over for pizza, cake, movies, and a sleepover. What could possibly go wrong?
But things do go wrong, horrifically so. After a tragic accident occurs, Jeff and Kim’s flawless life in a wealthy San Francisco suburb suddenly begins to come apart. In the ugly aftermath, friends become enemies, dark secrets are revealed in the Sanders’ marriage, and the truth about their perfect daughter is exposed.
If you loved Liane Moriarty’s and HBO's Big Little Lies, you’ll love The Party by Robyn Harding. This fast paced book exposes how even the most perfect of families can be shadowed by lies and betrayals. This is one page-turner you’re going to want to bring with you on vacation, to the beach, and add to your nightstand to be read.
And good to know - this is a paperback made exclusively for Target. It includes a letter from the author in the front of the book:
Typically, it's difficult for me to get into a book if I don't love any of the characters, but in this case, the book instantly grabbed my attention, and I was over a hundred pages in before I even stopped to check the time. Well done, Robyn Harding!
This isn't a book I love so much that I'm keeping it to read again in the future, but I think it's a perfect summer read. (Or cold winter/not-leaving-the-house read in my case!)
Verdict: I love the idea of this subscription - it's cheap, and it's a great way to get a new and interesting paperback each month. The pricing isn't bad, but it isn't the best. (For example, I could just wait to see what the book is for the month and buy it cheaper on Amazon.) The question, though, is would I do that? Or is there value in having a book delivered to me because it forces me to read books I otherwise wouldn't pick out?
