Unabridged Audiobook
I actually enjoyed the audiobook very much. While I didn't like some of the characters very much, too much gossip and conniving, I really did like some of the others characters (Lester, Mary-Alice and Candy). What touched me was the reflections on getting older and hopefully wiser as we age and how a reunion can get us to revert back to our younger and flawed selves. I took off a star because I felt the ending was rushed. A short epilogue about what became of the main characters, did not fully explain how the future panned out for them after the reunion.
I wanted to read this as soon as I found out what it was about. It really made me remember my own high school experience and wonder where my old classmates are today. It's a great and easy read. You will laugh, maybe even cry. Worth your time!
This is very hard to say as I am a HUGE fan of Elizabeth Berg, but this book was painful to listen to. I forced myself to listen to the first 2 CD's, but when I went to put on the 3rd, I just could not do it and returned it unfinished. Too bad as I am a big Elizabeth Berg fan. This was not up to par and clearly a waste of my time and the postage it cost to send. I feel badly as I always like to find the good in everything, but I just could not find it here. I hope this was a fluke and her next will be more in line with her other books. My fingers are crossed for something better from an author I normally enjoy greatly.
I am sorry to say this, but this book was just awful. I am a huge fan of Elizabeth Berg, but she clearly missed the mark on this one. BORING and predictable.
