A review by idicalini
The Party by Elizabeth Day
3.0
A fairly average book, with some of the least likeable characters I've ever come across. I suppose that's kind of the point of the story, but it just made me angry...
Otherwise, the plot is fine. I liked the build-up to the revelation of what happened at the party, the way the story was set up in three different timelines, yet it was easy go keep track of it. The writing itself was also pretty nice, just descriptive enough for my tastes but not too flowery. If only all the characters weren't so horrible... (or human, if you're a pessimist, which I am usually not)
