Wrong place. Wrong time. Those words could ring no truer than for Hope Donovan, a married mother of three. Car trouble and accepting a ride from old friends landed her on death row. Death. Row. Six years in Hope is still fighting for her life and her freedom, but now she must add to that her marriage and her sanity.
I closed “Party Girl” feeling torn. I’m having the coulda, woulda, shoulda blues. This coulda, woulda, shoulda been a really good book. That’s the way it started....more

This was one of the best stories I have read in awhile. It had a captivating story that grabs you from the beginning. It makes you ask yourself questions like is wrong to associate yourself with people from your past if they still live a questionable life? Is it wrong to change friends and associates because you no longer run in the sale circles. I felt bad for Hope because even though she was a bit wild as a teenager she had changed her life around and became a mother and wife. But being in the...more
Pat Tucker pens Party Girl, not only does the title set you up for the read but the cover as well. While reading on the job, some stared or wondered what the book was all about. Tucker had a great concept on “Texas Law of Parties” whereas Hope Jenay Donovan was sentenced to death for a murder she didn’t commit. Conversely, Adena wanted to see her “True Justice” for the brutal murder of her beloved husband and setup a committee of parents/mothers for the 5 years Hope was incarcerated. She became...more
I enjoyed this book. It was a good story with solid characters. I liked how the chapters were broken down by person giving each one a voice. If you want a quick read with a compelling story I recommend this one.
This book truly shows that being at wrong place at the wrong time does not payoff. It truly makes you think about the value of ones life.
I really enjoyed this book! It held my attention from the beginning to the end. In fact I actually flipped to the end to see what was going to happen by the middle of the book!
This book pissed me off through out the whole story. Everybody was shady
THIS WAS A AMAZING AND EXCELLENT STORY, 10 STAR READ
Good book with a good topic. Tucker lost me a couple of times by switching form subject to subject but it was still a good read.
I really liked Party Girl.nce I started reading I couldnt put it down.
Was it me or did one of Brandon's friends names keep changing from Jemar to Kemar?
An excellent book to curl up with. Pat Turner has come up with an explosive page turner. Turner has superb writing skills. This could be a Lifetime movie.
Full review on my other page: Adrienna Turner on Goodreads.
Read a few chapters, but just couldn't stick with it.
