House Party by Justin A. Reynolds
4.0
I'm always impressed when anthologies have interconnected stories, so I was very excited to read this. And I feel like this book takes it a step further: it's not so much an anthology as a novel with a lot of perspectives which all have been written by different authors. That sounds to me like such an elaborate project, and I'm so amazed at how cohesive the book ended up feeling. I think these authors did an amazing job collaborating and all capturing the same vibe of the party, and it was such a cool project to witness.
The one downside for me would be that none of the storylines feel very fleshed out, because there's just so many characters and they don't all get a lot of time on page. But that's the nature of a project like this, I would assume, and I did still have a lot of fun with this. It felt a lot like watching a teen movie or tv show, with so much drama and so many different characters. I could imagine this being on Netflix very easily, and I'd have a blast watching.
