So what was I going to make of Dark Parties? I knew it would be well-written but would the story hold me? Would I be there alongside the protagonists, experiencing their every fear, hope, desire? Would I suspend cooking dinner because I just had to read the next chapter?
Would I be able to write a review without sleepless nights wondering how it would be received by the author, and dare I say it, the publisher, too?
Well, the answer, dear reader, is YES, and for that I owe Sara a huge vote of thanks. And so does the world of YA dystopias.
But enough of the gushing. What's it all about?
