Opis

In this "riveting tale that is impossible to put down" (Bill Clegg, New York Times bestselling author), a wealthy family finds their picture-perfect life unraveling, their darkest secrets revealed, and their friends turned to enemies after a sweet sixteen birthday party goes horribly awry.

When Jeff and Kim Sanders' daughter turns sixteen, they decide to throw her a sweet sixteen party. Rather than an extravagant, indulgent affair, they invite four girls over for pizza, cake, movies, and a sleepover. What could possibly go wrong?

But things do go wrong, horrifically so. After a tragic accident occurs, Jeff and Kim's flawless life in a wealthy San Francisco suburb suddenly begins to unravel. In this "domestic drama... done well" (Kirkus Reviews), friends become enemies, fissures are revealed in the Sanders' marriage, and the truth about their perfect daughter, Hannah, is exposed.

Harkening to Herman Koch's The Dinner and Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies, The Party is "engrossing and unflinching in its portrayal of the dark side of human nature" (A. J. Banner, #1 bestselling author) and takes us behind the facade of the perfect family, exposing the lies, betrayals, and moral lapses that neighbors don't see--and the secrets that children and parents keep from themselves and each other.
