An interesting book and one that had me hooked as I needed to know what happened at the party 30 years ago and the moments leading up to it. 
It was interesting having the timelines blur a little and having the present day party mix with the party of the past and find out little titbits of information throughout the whole book, some things that I guessed straight away and others that completely shocked me. But on the whole it still kept my attention and I enjoyed the book. 
It definitely drew me in from the first couple of pages!

Ok so this book wasn't *super* well written, and it was kinda confusing at times, BUT the plot was incredible and I love the characters!! A pretty good book al around!!

Can a protagonist be more unlikable?! Couldn't wait for the story to end. Haven't found it to be thrilling or literary.

Easy and breezy, you could read this book in an afternoon. Not a whole lot to it, but I did enjoy following the story through a memories retold during a single day instead of traveling back in time to the events.
