Party

It's Saturday night in Santa Barbara and it seems like everyone is headed to the same destination. The reason is simple: to celebrate the end of school. But for eleven different people the motives are bit more complicated--to be noticed, to hook up, to make friends, to numb the pain, to get over an ex, to say goodbye. As each character takes a turn and tells his/her story, the eleven individuals intersect, reconnect, and combine in ways that none of them ever saw coming.@lt;br@gt;@lt;br@gt;Combine the poignancy of @lt;i@gt;Thirteen Reasons Why@lt;/i@gt; with the energy of films like @lt;i@gt;American Graffiti, Dazed and Confused, @lt;/i@gt; and @lt;i@gt;Sixteen Candles@lt;/i@gt; and you get @lt;i@gt;Party@lt;/i@gt;--a sneak peek into the lives of contemporary teens over the course of a single night. Alternating points of view and the timeless setting of an end-of-school party make this a compelling read. Those who pick it up cannot put it down.
