The Block Party is a domestic thriller about a murder during the annual Memorial Day party on bougie Alton Lane. If Desperate Housewives was a book, this would be it! So many characters, so much dysfunction, so unbelievable! Fortunately, there are only 2 narrators: Alex, nosy neighbor & divorce mediator and Lettie, Alex's daughter and high school senior who is passionate about saving the earth & other causes. They are both way too involved in neighbors and friends' lives.
The narrative begins with this year's block party; setting the scene for what is about to happen. Then it goes back to one year earlier and we are introduced to all the neighbors and the events leading up to this year's block party. Lots of drama, secrets, and revenge revolve around the 5 families living on the upscale street. None of the characters are particularly likeable. This was an over-the-top plot-like reading a soap opera. See Desperate Housewives comment.
