11.8.2023 - The Day After the Party

The Day After the Party by Nicole Trope 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest psychological thriller by Nicole Trope - 4 stars!

Katelyn and Leah have been best friends since they were 6.  Leah's family basically took Katelyn under their wings, since her mom was neglectful and an alcoholic.  Decades later, Katelyn is throwing a big party to celebrate her 36th birthday and Leah is by her side as always.  But now the tables have turned a bit - Katelyn is happily married with a young daughter and Leah is divorced and struggling.  Katelyn wakes up the day after the party in the hospital with temporary amnesia and doesn't remember anything about the night.  But others do and it could cause huge problems for everyone.

This was a quick read - mostly because I kept turning the pages to see what exactly happened at the party!  I thought the relationship between Katelyn was so interesting and added much depth to the story.  While once Katelyn wanted Leah's life, now Leah wants Katelyn's.  I liked the flashbacks into their past that really explored the friendship dynamic.  Then there are those husbands!  Another good read by Nicole Trope!
