Publisher's Summary

Twenty years ago, six Penn students shared a house, naively certain that their friendships would endure - until the death of their ringleader and dear friend Bea splintered the group for good. Now, mostly estranged from one another, the remaining five reluctantly gather at that same house on the eve of what would have been Bea's fortieth birthday.

But along with the return of the friends come old grudges, unrequited feelings, and buried secrets. Catherine, the CEO of a domestic empire, and Owen, a stay-at-home dad, were picture-perfect college sweethearts - but now teeter on the brink of disaster. Lindy, a well-known musician, is pushing middle age in an industry that's all about youth and slowly self-destructing as she grapples with her own identity. Behind his smile, handsome plastic surgeon Colin harbors the heartbreaking truth about his own history with Bea. And Annie carefully curates her life on Instagram and Facebook, keeping up appearances so she doesn't have to face the truth about her own empty reality.

Reunited in the place where so many dreams began, and bolstered by the hope of healing, each of them is forced to confront the past.

Just okay

The narration is fantastic. The only reason I chose this book was because it was narrated by Julia Whelan and I tend to enjoy most books she narrates. The story, however is... Meh. Nothing good or even - dare I say - interesting ever happens in this book. No-one is particularly likeable or relatable. Nothing is surprising. Weirdly, the person I enjoyed most in the story was Leon, who isn't even a main character and doesn't actually contribute much to the storyline other than to be an all-round emotionally intelligent human. The book's ending attempts to wrap it all up with a warm, heartfelt bow but for me, it fell completely flat. Would not recommend apart from narration!
