Liz becomes increasingly willing to do anything it takes to get back to her children. But everyone has very different opinions about the best plan from there. Instead, the group launches into survival mode, grabbing supplies to take shelter in the hosts’ wine cellar. The street is littered with wrecked cars and dead bodies. In the mad dash to their cars, they see it: a shimmering net floating over the town.

Immediately.Ī collective panic seizes the dinner party all the guests have children at home. Authorities have just one clear directive: Find shelter. They’ve barely made it through their first round of champagne when a “red alert” comes through their phones, and every channel on the television tells the same story: strange atmospheric masses, reported to look like “glimmering clouds,” have been spreading through major U.S. And yet she RSVPs anyway, trying to extend an olive branch to her withdrawing husband, who seems desperate to get in with the cliquey elite. Britta is insufferable, and Liz is wary to leave her young children with a barely-teenage babysitter.

When recent NYC-transplant Liz Brinkley and her husband are invited to an exclusive soiree by their neighbor, “lifestyle guru” Britta Harris-Che, Liz’s immediate thought is hell no. Seven courses, seven guests, twenty-four hours that will obliterate everything. With Regrets, from author Lee Kelly, is equal parts Big Little Lies and Bird Box, a suburban drama wrapped in a 24-hour survival story at the end of the world, perfect for fans of David Koepp's Aurora.
