Hello Book Friends,
I’m so please to be able to be on the Blog tour for this incredible read, I had so many emotions reading this, and I may have even shed a tear or two.
My Thoughts
Well knock me down with a feather, only 3 books in 2019 made me have feelings, I said 2 in my previous post but I remembered another one lol.
This book made me have such a range of emotions, and it is going to be really difficult to write about it because you absolutely have to go into this book blind, my suggestion would be don’t read ANY reviews (except this one of course) as you don’t want to catch an accidental spoiler.
The story is centered around a 40th birthday party that is for Livia, she has been literally planning this party for 20 years, she didn’t get to have the big extravagant wedding that she wanted, so this is something that is very close to heart, and she hasn’t spared any expense.
Her friends and family all know about her big party obsession and have just left her to revel in the organising for her big day, after all you are not 40 every day.
Livia’s husband Adam and her two children Marnie and Josh are well aware how important this day is Livia, and have done their best to fit in and help where they can.
With friends, family, colleagues and a few surprise guests arranged to arrive to the party, what could possibly go wrong?
This story is so cleverly written that you almost don’t see the twist coming, I had that puppet face when it did, you know, this one –
B A Paris has written such a clever book, because it is such a difficult choice to make, and without going into any spoilers, I know that is really vague, #SorryNotSorry
Honestly grab this one when you can, you won’t regret it, I’ve already pre-ordered the audiobook so I can listen to it as well!
**Thank you so much to HQ Stories and B.A. Paris for sending me the gorgeous copy of the book.
Enjoy
