Dive into the captivating world of 'The Party Crasher', a heartwarming tale that explores family dynamics, personal growth, and the bittersweet nature of change. Effie, the protagonist, is struggling to cope with her parents' recent divorce and the constant reminders of her father's new relationship, blasted across social media with hashtags like #viagraworks and #sexinyoursixties. As her family prepares for a 'house-cooling' party—an event she wasn't invited to—Effie faces the emotional turmoil of reclaiming her past. The beloved family home, rich with childhood memories, is soon to be sold, and the loss leaves her feeling as if she's been thrown out of her own life.
Compelled to retrieve her cherished Russian dolls hidden in the attic, Effie embarks on a secretive journey back home, navigating dusty corners, evading awkward encounters with her ex-boyfriend, and ultimately unraveling secrets about her family. As she explores the layers of her fraught relationships, Effie discovers profound truths about herself and what it means to truly come to terms with change.

Description:
Effie's still not over her parents splitting up a year ago and her dad and his new girlfriend are posting photos everywhere (with the hashtags #viagraworks and #sexinyoursixties). Now they're selling the beloved family home and holding a 'house-cooling' party, but Effie hasn't been invited.
Then she remembers her precious Russian dolls, safely tucked away up a chimney, and has no choice but to go back for them. She'll just creep in, grab the dolls and leave. No one will know she was ever there.
But Effie can't find the dolls. And as she secretly clambers around dusty attics, hides under tables and tries (and fails) to avoid bumping into her ex-boyfriend, she discovers unexpected truths about her family - and even about herself.
With time running out, Effie starts to wonder if the only way to find out what's really going on with her family is to simply crash the party...
