What We Did Last Night

By: Vanessa Garbin

Narrated by: Brigid Lohrey

Do you love your partner enough to share them with someone else?

This is the question facing Laura when a group of close friends, all neighbors living on the same street, decide one night to put their keys in a bowl and swap partners.

No one is obliged to do anything but the rules state that what does happen remains under wraps.

Not everyone is keen on the idea, though Laura's husband certainly is, but group pressure mixed with alcohol means they run with it.

This will set off a chain of jaw-dropping events that will change all their lives forever.

If you are looking for a suspenseful domestic thriller that will keep you guessing, you've found it!

Back to the 1950s?

A group of neighbors, fueled by too much drinking, have a “naughty party” one night. Except it’s not really; it’s the impetus to send lives spinning out of control. Problem is, it’s unrealistic. There’s no real space given to considering any kind of non-traditional relationship. (Ok, there is one, but it’s a side story seemingly thrown in for no reason other than to keep the narrative from being even more Victorian.) In the end, the story comes across as a moral crusade and an almost religious appeal to the traditional family that was so widely depicted in 1950s television even while actual families were behaving much differently.
