About this listen

Three women form an unbreakable bond in a sexy, suspenseful, and adventurous novel about empowerment and sisterhood through thick and thin.

Venus McGee, Draya Carter, and Jackie Benson are coworkers with a lot in common. They’re smart, independent, driven, and deserving of recognition - certainly more than they’ve been handed by a demoralizing boss. He’s the topic of conversation at their impromptu get-together after the company holiday party, where the threesome fantasizes about a life without him. There has to be an alternative to taking a deep breath and sucking it up. There is. It’s just not the one they expected.

When morning comes, Venus, Draya, and Jackie are blindsided by murder - a twist of fate that brings a startling new challenge to the table and forces them to navigate a hair-raising detour they never saw coming. For better and (unless they can help it) for worse, it’s going to turn their world upside down. What starts as a necessary bond of mutual trust soon morphs into an empowering and galvanizing friendship that Venus, Draya, and Jackie need now more than ever.

“Arthur develops each of her main characters so well that readers will root for them all.”Library Journal

“Comical, unique, and heartfelt…The After Party is a smart, tantalizing feat you won’t want to put down.”—Shondaland

I must have read every single review of ‘The After Party’ mostly 5 stars & the ones below weren’t bad either.

First Bahni Turpin as narrator, is as usual, great! She never disappoints the reader.

I didn’t finish as quickly as I thought because overall I wasn’t thrilled with ‘The After Party’

This follows a group of best friends and each chapter covers a particular girl. Whether it be trials & tribulations of their day to day lives, or in particular the event that is taking up their lives everyday.

Overall I think there’s too many chapters & way too many words..meaning “she looked at herself in the mirror, went to get her leather coat, put her both arms in her coat, took her keys off the table & opened the door to leave” Those wordy sentences just makes you want to roll your eyes..

BUT to be fair I enjoyed this book. It had its laugh out loud moments too. Definitely recommend but would love to see if others agree with anything I said..Enjoy!

‘The After Party’ was good..ending..meh
