The Party
About this book
Robyn Harding’s domestic drama, hailed as 'tense and riveting' (New York Times bestselling author Megan Miranda), explores the aftermath of a sweet sixteen birthday party that goes horribly awry, as the members of a wealthy family find their picture-perfect life unravelling, their darkest secrets revealed, and their friends turned to enemies.
Sweet sixteen. It’s an exciting rite of passage. Jeff and Kim Sanders plan on throwing a party for their daughter, Hannah – a good girl with excellent grades and nice friends. Rather than an extravagant affair, they invite four girls over for pizza, movies and a sleepover. What could possibly go wrong?
But things do go wrong, and Hannah’s party quickly turns into the stuff of nightmares. After a tragic accident occurs, Jeff and Kim’s life begins to unravel. In the ugly aftermath, friends become enemies, dark secrets are exposed, and the truth about Hannah is revealed.
The Party shatters the façade of the ideal family, exposing the betrayals and moral lapses that occur behind closed doors – and the secrets that children and parents keep from themselves and one another.
‘A masterful tale of the disintegration of a seemingly perfect family.’ A. J. Banner, #1 bestselling author of The Twilight Wife

‘It’s a tale to make you think about that popular line that mums everywhere have been known to utter: “Stop, before someone gets hurt”.’ Herald Sun
