After the Party

Product Information

This book left me with unfinished endings which made a refreshing change to a story being neatly tied up.

Danner questions Brett, who tells his story in the style of an action movie, in which he casts himself as a ne'er-do-well hero who is committed to his family. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Aniq and Yasper look through the garbage to find a discarded note written by one of the partygoers.After the Party emerges at a tense time for NZ drama – more on that below. A longer version of this review will run on The Spinoff next week.

I was a little confused in the beginning which character was talking and what the main character's name was as it wasn't initially clear. However I soon got into this story and three quarters of the way through I was still wondering if a murder had been committed. I still am. a b Andreeva, Nellie (May 13, 2022).

The realisation that the lovely seaside camp that Nina, youngest and ostensibly bossiest of the trio, is helping to run is, in fact, a fascist indoctrination program is all the more chilling for emerging from a welter of domestic information about how many sausages it will take to feed all these trippers for breakfast, how difficult the other people on the committee are, etc. Nina is the kind of woman one would dread on a committee and there is far greater reason to dread her. The main character is so much in Dean's thrall that it's slightly embarrassing to read about it. Her mother is almost smothering in her attention, & as for Dean - I think most of us have met a Dean sometime or another. The kind of person that has no qualms in taking advantage of the feelings of the woman who has a crush on them & yet viewing her as pathetic for having those feelings. Everyone else was quite thinly drawn, even the detective investigating the case seemed a rather shadowy figure. It's a bit of a shame as the author can definitely write well but this is not a great book. Finally, I hated the ending. 2.5 stars (rounded up) Mყ 𝐒ყɴ𝐨ρѕιѕ: Lizzie has just gotten a promotion as a project manager at small company, and she's absolutely in love with her co-worker, Dean, for the past three years.

Featured Reviews

Let me preface this by saying I've never read a novel by Georgina Lees before, so when I speak about her writing skills, it's only with this book in mind. This is a rare situation where I felt like Lees showed she can write her cheeks off, but the content itself was too on the safe side. GEORGINA IF YOU'RE LISTENING I, an irrelevant reader, would love to see you write a character-driven contemporary fiction with a lil side of mystery. You've got da skills girl, don't settle for mainstream thriller content. In conclusion, though this was well written and I did mostly enjoy it just don’t be expecting to be enamoured by the characters involved as they were to be frank a pretty unlikable bunch and yes that included the perfect Lizzie. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of After The Party. You never hear much from her dad, her mum being the pivotal person in her life who seemingly acts irrationally several times throughout.
