I fully expect Mom to cancel the party.
I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to do a wild, chaotic dinner or party around the middle of the book, but I didn’t actually write it in the first draft. In fact, this scene was just a “do this later” note for about the first year I worked on the book. Managing a bunch of characters and making them funny while spiraling into chaos is really difficult and I kept putting it off!
