House Party

LoveReading Says

I picked up House Party and was immediately drawn into the story. Reading about Hattie’s tween and teen hood felt like I was reminiscing about my own: the clothes, Black Parade, Tracy Beaker references, live action Peter Pan (!). Her character brings this story joyously to life as we see her meet her best friend Sam and his gorgeous and completely off limits older brother Freddie.

In the present timeline Hattie is 28 and trying to move on from a breakup, determined to reclaim the rest of her twenties for herself, which includes being single for a whole year. First on the agenda? Gathering all her friends together for her and Sam’s annual birthday celebrations. This year they plan a last minute trip to a remote cabin in the Forest of Dean but Freddie is unexpectedly included and there's a massive snowstorm on the way.

What better setting, for Chloe and her friends to reconnect and for fifteen years of pining to finally boil over, than a snowbound cabin in the woods? Perfectly paced, we have a dual timeline that shows that there is more to Hattie and Freddie’s history than meets the eye as their teasing and flirty banter intensifies.

It was sweet, it was sexy, it made me laugh out loud and there were three failed attempts to put it down in order to go to sleep. This is a perfect winter romance to curl up with in front of a log fire - or in a hot tub.
