The Party

I've read The Party by Robyn Harding which is about a girl, Hannah, who has her 16th birthday party where something happens that impacts on the lives of all those involved.  Hannah wants to be with the "in crowd".  Each chapter is told from the perspective of a different character - Hannah, the 16-year-old; Jeff, her father; Kim, her mother; Lisa, friend's mother and others.  It was confronting to see how 16-year-olds treat each other and the bullying that goes on, particularly on-line.  Revenge seems to be the theme.  It's about what you have and how you can get more.  The characters were not likeable. 31/2/5
