The party was supposed to be the highlight of the summer. If only I'd known that night would destroy our lives... All the neighbours were laughing, drinking out of plastic glasses and getting along. I almost felt happy. Almost forgot about the terrible argument earlier and the sinister messages I'd been receiving from a strange address all week, threatening to expose the lies behind my perfect life. As we finished with the red and gold fireworks and welcomed everyone back to our house, I believed that everything would be okay. But I didn't know who I was inviting in. I never could have imagined what would happen here, in our home, after I'd gone up to bed. Everyone saw something different. It's my daughter's word against the story the boy from down the road is telling. But how can I find out what really happened that night without everyone finding out the truth about me? An absolutely gripping story of the secrets you would do anything to keep hidden, with a twist you just won't see coming. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl , Big Little Lies and The Girl on the Train . Readers are gripped by The Street Party : ' A wonderful book! Perfect for fans of Little Big Lies and Little Fires Everywhere! A perfect beach or pool read! ' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ' Drew me right in, kept me reading late into the night . Tense, chilling, so many twists and turns do not miss this thriller .' NetGalley reviewer ' Make sure to clear your schedule as once you start reading this you will not want to put it down until you are done. It's truly that good! I can't wait to read more by Claire in the future! ' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ' Wow! ... Kept me guessing the whole time... Must read.' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: Just Ok - I had a hard time getting into this book. It wasn't what I expected. However I do have to say the characters were great and beautifully described. The neighbors were all having a grand time at the summer party but lies and secrets were about to surface. Who to trust and who to believe? You will keep turning the pages the last few chapters to see what happens. Review: Hard Read - This book was extremely hard to get into to. There were too many characters that had little to do with the story line. I gobble books up. However, this one took me weeks to read. I will say part three, the very last part, it picked up some. I'm an avid reader and my honest review would be that this book is busy and boring at the same time. It has received some great reviews; so each to their own.

Just Ok
I had a hard time getting into this book. It wasn't what I expected. However I do have to say the characters were great and beautifully described. The neighbors were all having a grand time at the summer party but lies and secrets were about to surface. Who to trust and who to believe? You will keep turning the pages the last few chapters to see what happens.

The Book Fell Apart
I tried to read this book but I was constantly running for scotch tape. Not worth it so I tossed it out.

Gripping story, really enjoyed
This is the second book I have read by Claire Seeber. It's a great holiday read, but I couldn't put it down so read it in just over a day! Really enjoyed the story, the twists and turns kept me guessing. Covers lots of contemporary issues well. I could relate to the often difficult relationships between the mothers and the teens. Great characters, absolutely what I love in a book, with a pacy storyline to carry them along. I'll definitely continue to read Claire's books. If you like this book, I can recommend The Parent's too.

COMPASSIONATE AND PACY NOVEL ABOUT MOTHERS AND THEIR TEENAGE CHILDREN
I raced through this book, engrossed by its picture of female friendship and their teenagers. Although the readers will very much want to know what happens next, many will recognise the dilemmas that both generations face, together and separately. The author takes a compassionate and non-sensational look at this very mixed section of urban society - and also has a little laugh. Anyone who has ever taken part at an uncomfortable social event or are a community event such a street party will find themselves on familiar territory.
