This book was a bit slow in the beginning but once the story line kicked off it turned out to be a really good exciting read can’t wait for others to read it

Jenna Satterthwaite’s The New Year’s Party is the perfect blend of comedy, chaos, and mystery that will have you laughing, gasping, and suspecting everyone at the same time. Olivia and her friends are determined to revive their old tradition of ringing in the new year together—minus the years of burnout, parenting stress, and life drama. But as the champagne flows and the party hits its peak, secrets begin to slip out, and suddenly, this isn’t your average soirée. What starts as a night of promises to "leave it all behind" quickly turns into a rollercoaster of revelations, faux pas, and oh no moments. The author brilliantly captures the messy, complicated web of adult friendship—complete with sarcastic banter, relatable struggles, and enough secrets to keep everyone guessing. Just when you think you’ve figured out who might be jealous, desperate, or disturbed enough for murder, Satterthwaite throws a curveball that leaves you reeling. The characters are charmingly flawed, and their interactions feel both authentic and hilarious—because let’s face it, isn’t that what friendship is really about? With every secret that comes out, you’ll be questioning who’s trustworthy…and who’s just hiding something deadly. This story proves that sometimes, the best way to start fresh is with a little chaos—and maybe a murder or two.
