Summary
Sloane Parker is dreading her birthday. She doesn’t need a reminder she’s getting older, or that she’s feeling indifferent about her own life.
Her husband surprises her with a birthday weekend getaway—not with him, but with Sloane’s longtime best friend, troublemaker extraordinaire Naomi.
Sloane anticipates a weekend of wine tastings and cozy robes and strategic avoidance of issues she’d rather not confront, like her husband’s repeated infidelity. But when they arrive at their rental cottage, it becomes clear Naomi has something else in mind. She wants Sloane to stop letting things happen to her, for Sloane to really live. So Naomi orchestrates a wild night out with a group of mysterious strangers, only for it to take a horrifying turn that changes Sloane’s and Naomi’s lives literally forever.
The friends are forced to come to terms with some pretty eternal consequences in this bloody, seductive novel about how it’s never too late to find satisfaction, even though it might taste different than expected.
Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
So Thirsty is about a weekend trip that goes wrong. It’s a story about friendship and proves that even if you’ve been turned into vampires, that doesn’t fix your friendship. In many ways, Sloane and Naomi have to contend with immortality, but also their opinions and diverging paths that happened before their weekend trip. It’s immediately eerie. So Thirsty explores friendship and bonds that push and pull. About how friends know how to hurt us, but also how to support us.

When our lives go out of control. They veer out of what what we think and we don’t know how to tell someone. When we’ve been worried about being secure, what happens when our life becomes more secure? And what if we were thrust into immortality and still couldn’t get it together? So Thirsty is an exploration of friendship and the ways it changes, and stays the same. About who we are in a friendship.
