The After Party by Anton DiSclafani

3.0

The After Party is a page-turner in the purest sense, but it may leave something to be desired. For me, this was the case. I burned through the book, excited to see what happened next, but the reveal happens in a way that isn't fun for the reader, and seemed there just because it had to be. I guess that's how the two Joans interact for most of this book - in hindsight, everything seemed to be stringing along because of a few events in the past, and not in a moving way. If you're looking for a book of an old friendship in a realistic historical setting, then this is an alright read.
