I just started Marie Benedict’s latest book, The First Ladies. Sucked me in immediately! 📚 📚📚 #bookoston
I had a backlog of books to review, and this is my last one. "The Block Party" is not great. For a moment I thought the immature perspective of Alex, the middle-aged main character, was intentional. When I realized it was not, the tale fell apart for me: https://bookwyrm.social/book/1155479/s/the-block-party#reviews #bookreview #bookoston #reading @bookstodon #thriller
The Block Party - BookWyrm

This summer, meet your neighbors. The residents of the exclusive cul-de-sac on Alton Road are entangled in a web of secrets and scandal utterly unknown to the outside world, and even to each other. On the night of the annual Summer block party, there has been a murder. But, who did it and why takes readers back one year earlier, as rivalries and betrayals unfold—discovering that the real danger lies within their own block and nothing—and no one—is ever as it seems.
