yes, it’s suitable, but i think the sentence would sound more natural if you remove the word “should” —> “She insisted that I come to the party.”

@ChongOoiMing @saraalsx Hello, I have another question,
Does "She insisted that I should come to the party." roughly mean: "She wanted me to get there/ She hoped that I get there"?

@satthusketchup yes, it could mean “she wanted me to go there” / “she hoped that i would go there” or else she’d be very upset
