The After Party by Anton DiSclafani
3.0
Joan and Cece were childhood friends growing up in Texas. A tragedy brought them closer. They are now housewives in 1950s Houston, but their lives have taken very different paths. Joan is the unmarried, wild, belle of the ball. Cece is the rule follower, who thrives when Joan throws her even the slightest bone of attention. Then in 1957, everything in their dynamic changed.
I enjoyed this book, but gave it three stars because it was way too repetitive. After about the 5th passage of Cece waxing on about not getting Joan’s attention you start to wonder how much longer before the book reaches a point. I guessed the “twist” early on, which may have been another reason I really wanted the book to get to the point.
