I really enjoyed this book and my first jump into this author - I would definitely check out their future books. The characters were well developed and the plotline kept me intrigued

I found this book to be very slow. Nothing much happens but the bones of the story could make a very good read, it just didn't seem strong enough.

Thank you NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC.

This book has so many tests and you definitely won’t see any of them coming! Just as you’re thinking you’ve guessed what is happening and it side swipes you again. I do like this writer and I’d recommend any of her books.

I read it in two days because the plot felt intriguing from the start but I was somewhat disappointed because there were no real plot twists, just red herrings which I thought would become something bigger, whereas the plot fell a bit flat in the end and the ending felt kind of rushed.

This one was a wild ride from start to finish! This has secrets, lies, cheating, temporary amnesia and jealously all wrapped into this book. Always leads to a good time not read and escape the real world.

Review of The Day After the Party by Nicole Trope – ★★★★☆

The Day After the Party is a gripping psychological thriller that had me hooked from the start. Katelyn wakes up in a hospital, unable to remember her thirty-sixth birthday party. As she navigates her fragmented memories, she suspects her husband is hiding something crucial.

Trope brilliantly explores themes of postpartum depression, secrets, and betrayal, weaving a dual timeline that keeps you guessing. The tension builds as Katelyn’s journey unfolds, filled with unpredictable twists that make it hard to put down.

Trope delivers an engaging read that keeps you on your toes. If you love thrillers packed with intrigue and well-developed characters, this one is a must-read!

— TL;DR: A thrilling blend of suspense and emotion, The Day After the Party is a page-turner full of secrets and twists that will keep you guessing until the end.

The perfect birthday or the perfect nightmare? This is the perfect tagline for this wonderful book. I was obsessed with this book from the first page and it truly encapsulates the phase ‘just one more chapter’ because the powerful cliffhangers keep you turning the pages well into the night. The characters were wonderfully written and I loved the storyline. I highly recommend The Day After the Party another 5 star thriller you need to read.

Oh my!! This book was gripping from the very first chapter and didn't let up. That ending!!! Leah and Katelyn have been BFFs since age 6. After Katelyn's 36th birthday party she wakes up in a hospital having no memory of the what happened and how she got there. I could not stop reading and the more that was revealed the crazier things got. Do not miss this one!

Katelyn and Leah go way back. Like, way back. They have been besties for 30 years and are completely intertwined in each other's lives. There's only one problem. Katelyn can't remember her birthday party. This may not seem like a big deal, but her amnesia is hiding dark secrets that could change all their lives.

I really liked this a lot more than I expected. I wasn't exactly on pins and needles, but I was racing for the next chapter and definitely ready to throw my Kindle a couple of times.

The premise is great but the execution fell a bit flat for me and it was a bit dull in places. Some twists were a bit predictable but others took me by surprise. Good ending!

This book has potential but, ultimately, it was boring and convoluted. Nothing felt believable and I didn’t care for any of the characters.

This is the story of Katelyn and Leah who have been friends since they were six years old. Katelyn decides to hold a party for her thirty sixth birthday but is amazed to wake up next morning lying in a hospital bed unable to remember anything about it. We learn over the years that Leah has been intensely jealous of Katelyn as she has everything that Leah hasn’t. Katelyn had a tough childhood and Leah’s mother took her under her wing and Leah has resented their closeness. She is also envious that Katelyn has a doting husband and a lovely daughter. As Katelyn’s memory begins to return she starts to question everything in her life. This is a gripping story of friendship, marriage and betrayal which makes it a very exciting read and one I could not put down.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Such a great author! She has outdone herself again! What a suspenseful, edge of your seat, page turner! I read it in one sitting! I seriously couldn't turn the pages fast enough! What a plot twist! Highly recommend!

Enjoyable read for sure. Definitely had a few twists that were unexpected and some that were but overall I liked it. Characters are well written, maybe a bit catty, but then again I know several like that in real life also. I recommend this for anyone looking for a book to get lost in for a bit

I feel like the premise of this book has but done a few times before, but it was still an enjoyable read. It wasn’t as predictable as I expected when I started.

I tried so hard to really get into this book but I just could not connect with the plot line or the characters, It was a quick read but overall did not leave an impact on me.
