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?

It is so hard to believe this is a debut novel. A beautifully written story, of friendship, love and cross roads. A tragic incident happens and shows how this can tear apart friendships or bring people closer together. Beautifully created characters so flawed, yet so relatable. I absolutely loved this book and was finding lots of excuses to listen to it. Katie Hoskins shows a great understanding of human behaviour and motivation. A poignant and layered story that keeps you guessing until the end. This is a masterpiece and one of the best books I've listened to/read in such a long time.

A must listen! A story of true friendship and crossroads.
