For readers of Liane Moriarty, Holly Wainwright and The Slap, When the Party's Over is the page-turning debut novel by Katie Hoskins
One party. One pill. Mothers don't get second chances.
Natalie knows her life looks perfect from the outside: Three young children, a loving husband, the tastefully renovated Eastern Suburbs cottage. So why does she feel so suffocated?
On her 36th birthday, all Natalie wants is to gather her two best friends and leave their responsibilities behind just for one night. But when the party's over, she finds eighteen-month-old Toby clutching an unmistakable colourful tablet - with a quarter missing.
What kind of mother could let this happen?
As Toby recovers and returns home, the fallout really begins. Because each of these women has their own truth about that night - and when it all comes to light, will any of their friendships survive?
