This book was a LOT. I don't think there is a single truly innocent character in this book.

Filled with twists and turns, betrayal, hurt, secrets and a lot of missing memories, you join Katelyn in figuring out what happened during that fateful party, and when I tell you that you'll end up feeling like 'I did not see that coming', I mean it.

This was such a rollercoaster and I couldn't put the book the book down, no matter how many times I wanted to take a breather and process what was happening.

I definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves of story of lies, secrets and a whole lot of betrayal.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC

Another great read from Nicole Trope. I enjoyed it from the beginning but once the twists appeared it was gripping

An addictive twisty read, that I couldn't put down! I really enjoyed this authors writing style, and will definitely be picking up more of their work.

And Nicole Trope did it AGAIN !!!!!!!
I'm starting to think it will be IMPOSSIBLE for Trope to disappoint me!! She creates this amazing stories that keep me sitting on the edge of my sit every second. Her characters are immaculate and she never misses when creating tension.

This frenemies story was sooooo good!!! Each character is perfectly written so it all starts to fall in place at the best moments. I just can't even explain !!! Hahaha!!! I received this arc and I was like yes Trope come to me and make me be obsessed with this book too. And she did haha another book to my beloved books list by this author. I have nothing bad to say about this book. Started it, couldn't put it down, finished it... loved it!

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Two life-long friends struggle with their feelings f0r each other after each seems to attain the lifestyle that the other wanted.

I am always a fan of Nicole Trope books. She is incredibly talented and delivers a heart-pounding psychological thriller that will keep you up reading til the very last page. There are an intricate web of secrets, deception, and suspense. The characters are well written with such complexity, the build-up of the story is exceptional, and the unraveling of the plot leads to a shocking twist that you will not predict.
It is a must-read for any psychological thriller fan. I was addicted and immersed into the story, reading in one day.
I highly recommend all her books

Great plot, but it seriously lacks in execution. This story was all over the place with its dual timeline and I felt as though a map was needed in order to actually finish it.

The more I learned about the characters, the less I cared. Not one character was likeable and the story just fell flat. The lackluster ending finally caused this thriller to just fizzle out.

I don’t have the words to describe how good this book was! I started it on the weekend, which was a good move, because I couldn’t put it down! This book is a must read!

This book was SO GOOD. I could not put it down. The chapters were short and it was easy to follow the story even though it went back and forth between present day and the past, and two different characters. I highly recommend! This is my first book by this author but I am already looking for more!

I love books about memory loss and I know someone who had transient global amnesia and the symptoms were spot on, so I know that the author did her research. I loved the way Trope portrayed the cat and mouse game of what happened at the party, and the total confusion Katelyn experiences - she knows where she is now, but how could she have done what they say she's done?

Trope created a cast of characters you'll love to hate as we learn the back story of Katelyn and Leah, and the aftereffects of post-partum depression.

The story is a little slow as we wait to find out what happened at the party, but the chapters are short and the tension makes for a quick read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an advance reader's copy.

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!

An easy read with a good level of suspense. It kept me guessing and I enjoyed the flashbacks to childhood but felt got mixed with >1 unhinged character and could have been executed slightly better. It was a little repetitive at times and all the characters were on some level unlikeable.
3.75/5 stars

I thought The Day After The Party was a fantastic read. It was the cover that originally captured my interest and the story did not disappoint. There were plenty of secrets and lies which gradually come back to Katelyn and it kept me gripped right to the very end.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

I really enjoyed The Day After the Party. Nicole Trope once again gives us a fabulous setting and an interesting situation to unravel. The multi POV and timeline keep the suspense and mystery right to the end. This story keeps you in the dark throughout and you will never guess how it all ends.

There is so much drama and scandal in this book. The relationships are all so intriguing and like puzzles to work out. It is such a fast read because you get so immersed in it.

And Amazon

Loved the cover! This book was much twistier than I anticipated. The unreliable narrator made me crazy, but in a good way. I literally couldn't finish fast enough--Trope will be an auto purchase from here on out!

Katelyn wakes up in the hospital with no memory of how she got there. Last thing she remembers is being her 36th birthday party and then nothing. She doesn't remember the cake, the guests arriving, the party ending. Nothing. Except she does know that something must have happened to cause her to lose her memory. Katelyn must try to piece together the bits of information she can gather to figure out what happened on a night she can't remember, except it doesn't seem like anyone around her can be trusted...

The plot of this story was super interesting to me and overall, I enjoyed it, but found it very predictable. This book felt more like reading a soap opera rather than a thriller, but I really loved the flashbacks around Katelyn and Leah's friendship and backgrounds. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as a thriller, as I would categorize this as a domestic drama.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was an emotional roller coaster! It was crazy with all the little reveals throughout and had me wanting to know the whole truth! I am usually not a fan of confused narrators but at least she wasn’t a drunk one! I really liked this story and all the twists that were in it.

This book was what a great thriller is made of! It had me guessing what would happen next and I was totally enthralled and entertained by the characters and plot!

This book dragged on a bit and didn’t seem like much was going on. Not huge on third person writing style. I enjoyed it a bit but just didn’t love it.

I love the synopsis, but sadly this book just wasn’t for me. It was missing the thriller vibe, there were no good twists or shocking moments. I also didn’t like any of the characters, which made reading this very bland and difficult…
