REVIEW It’s scary how quickly your life and that of your family can be altered forever. And how easily one lie leads to another and another until you have a huge web of deceit. 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. The book is an amazingly quick read and kept me turning pages until four in the morning. Any parent of a teen should read this book. It’s about the seemingly perfect family, pressures of high school and the impact of bullying. The characters were believable and the story, while a work of fiction, could easily happen anywhere. It’s about what really happened at the party that night. It’s a parent’s worst nightmare.
