The Party by Robyn Harding


Hannah is turning sweet sixteen and has invited a few friends over for a night of celebration but things take a turn for the worse and tragedy strikes.

The party is to be low key and quiet but the girls have other things in mind. Things get out of control and Kim is awoken by Hannah with blood on her hand. One of the girls has been badly hurt. Fingers are pointed, Hannah's parents are sued and the school is divided.

Secrets spill off the pages because like any good mystery books, secrets are the key and no one event is responsible for the outcome but a series of events.

The story is told in 3rd person and from the point of view of 4 of the 5 characters. The story is revealed over six months focusing on different perspectives. Expect an easy and fast read.
This is one of those rare books in which it's difficult to like any of the characters  and the ending wasn't what I wanted or expected. Wasn't exactly sure if , I wanted to toss the book across the room or just stew in the moment of an ending that wasn't justified.
