“If there’s one thing I’ve learned, doing what I do…it’s that everyone has secrets.”—Jay

On Alton Road, no one keeps to their own business. During their annual summer block party, all the building drama comes to an explosive end. What happened? To whom? Who did it and why? The members of the Meadowbrook community Facebook page have all the same questions you will as they exchange flippant comments about their neighbors. 

The neighbors on Alton Road are MESSY!!!! If you love a messy, gossipy, soapy book with lots of twisted characters, The Block Party is for you. It has that “oh what happened” gossipy moody neighborhood vibe. Not to repeat everyone else’s comparisons, but this really is a contemporary book version of the TV show Desperate Housewives. It’s juicy good and keeps the pages turning—a great pool-side or beach read.
