I was expecting this to be amazing from all the reviews I’ve read and sadly for me it wasn’t!
Given it’s called “The Party” I was expecting much more to happen at the party but that wasn’t the case!
This novella follows sisters Moira and Evelyn in post-war Bristol, Moira the elder sister isn’t particularly fond of her younger sister Evelyn albeit there are only 2 years between them, I can’t relate to the competitive sister narrative having such an amazing relationship with my own sister! Given their parents are on the brink of divorce I would have expected Moira to be more motherly towards Evelyn.
This review is almost as long as the book so I’ll wrap it up by saying it’s disappointing, don’t buy into the influencer hype that this little book will rock your world as I don’t think it will!
