Quick read, full of great tips

I just finished listening to the audiobook and it was so great. Someone recommended the podcast episode he was on on Reddit which led me to deciding to buy the book. It was a super quick listen full of lots of interesting details on how to plan a very low-stress party that I feel like will solve a lot of my current issues. As someone newer to the area we’ve recently moved to, I’m feeling really hopeful about throwing a party using this formula and hopefully becoming more connected. Excited to have lower prep than a dinner party too! Great read.

Excellent Book

This book is outstanding! It gave me the courage to plan my first cocktail party. It’s full of excellent tips and points to make any party memorable.
