Grade: C
I found this book enjoyable yet…non climatic. It tells the story of the reunion of five friends who were best friends back in college, but have since drifted away due to a variety of reasons. They are reuniting due to a request from the sixth member of their group, who passed away 13 years ago. She had set it up that on her fortieth birthday they would all return to the house they had lived in as college students and read letters they had written themselves back when they were graduating.
Most of this book is pointing out all the problems they all have. It doesn’t really solve many of them, and often left me thinking half the story wasn’t told. I feel like this was the start, and the author needs to write a sequel where some of the problems get addressed and at least on the way to solved.
I also have to admit I had a problem of remembering this is Penn College, not Penn State. Penn College/UPenn is based in Philly and is private while Penn State is the public university supported by the State.
