Life of the Party Summary

Life of the Party by Tea Hacic-Vlahovic

Life of the Party will leave you with a hangover and a VIP stamp on your heart. Hacic crafts a Beat novel for the Instagram generation.

This dark comedy dives into the underbelly of Milanese fashion and nightlife, through the eyes of Mia, a young expat. She came to Milan to escape her problems but only found more glamorous ones... Mia indulges in the highs and lows Milanese decadence can offer. Between fashion class and clubbing, her narcissistic boss and abusive boyfriend push her to face bleak reality. Life of the Party asks, can you lose your innocence if you were never innocent? Can you find control in chaos? And do you have a plus one for tonight's party?

Life of the Party Reviews

Clever debut novel of fashion and nightlife, readers are introduced to Mia, an expat newly moved to Milan. The drugs, nightclubs, and men blur together into a seemingly nonstop, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas-style fever dream as intense as it is dripping with style.

Publishers' Weekly

Tea Hacic is an MDMA-fueled Oscar Wilde with fake eyelashes and this book is a Fear and Loathing for the late Berlusconi-era; a deep walk of shame that tiptoes between a bewildering Bildungsroman and a fever dream of social climbing and social embarrassment.

OLIVER KUPPER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF AUTRE MAGAZINE

A recollection of youth as seen through the dichotomy of control vs desperation, Americana vs. Milanese, luxury vs poverty and uppers vs downers.

BJ PANDA BEAR AT FLAUNT MAGAZINE

Tea recounts with brutal honesty the period in which Milan officially became the Italian city that everyone hates and envies.

VICE Italy

Life of the Party is a good goddamn time.

Columbia Journal

The party seduced me, the darkness shocked me, and Mia's wondrous naivete uplifted me.

FLAUNT Magazine

It's as intoxicating as the best party you've ever been to...Hacic-Vlahovic has written one hell of a ride.
