The Reunion: There are more than just secrets buried in this school's past...

Product Information

Romances aside, familial love also played a big part of this story and Mama and Papa Chance not only brought the humor in this book, they also brought the unconditional love. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.

The Reunion is mostly narrated by Thomas Degalais, an author who very much resembles author Musso himself, from his enormous success -- "I had written a dozen novels that had been translated into twenty languages and sold millions of copies all over the world" -- to the year (though admittedly not day) of their births (1974). Mom glances at her delicate gold watch. “Austin and Ted— Theo—were scheduled to land a few minutes after we did. Can you see them anywhere, hon?” This book follows 3 siblings as they converge in their hometown (a small island off the coast of Washington State) to plan a Wedding Anniversary party for their parents. And, bitches, there is DRAAAAMMMMAAAA. This family has slowly drifted apart over the previous 10-ish years and we get a front row seat to the siblings trying to plan this important party while fighting like only siblings can. As the story unfolds we also see each sibling connect with people from their past and fall in love.

This book really has it all. There are plenty of moments that made me laugh (especially with Martin and Peggy Chance, the parents). I don't think I've read an argument scene as strong as the one between the three siblings in this book. Emotional and painful and so honest and real. The French Riviera-set series adapted from Guillaume Musso's bestselling novel, shot on location in the south of France last summer. Ioan said part of what attracted him to the show was the location. Meghan Quinn has written a new fictional family to fall in love with! The Reunion follows the story of three siblings who have been tasked with organizing a party for their parent's 50th anniversary. Can they put their differences aside and work together to create a night for their parents to remember, or will sibling tension ruin the fun for everyone? With an invitation to the University reunion lingering, Emily decides that people must pay for what they did.

Nora McHale: Nora is funny as hell and she didn't pass up any opportunity to push Cooper's button. She also encouraged Cooper to take chances and put himself out there and I love how supportive she was.

Problematic, however, is how many of the characters lash out unthinkingly, almost at the drop of a hat, acting out impulsively. I'm giving this 2 stars because I enjoyed the writing and being teleported to the beautiful south of France. But the plot and ending were POUBELLE (trashola). The Reunion is told in alternating chapters, between the current day and the past (leading up to the current day), so each of the events and twists (and there are SO many twists!) are slowly revealed, right up to the very end. The actual event that sparked Emily’s desire for revenge didn’t feel as overwhelmingly damaging and life destroying to me? Maybe I’m just not as easily embarrassed 😅 but that feeling didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story at all. The author kept the level of suspense up for the entire story and made sure we never really knew who was trustworthy and who had something to hide.

After listening to the novella prequel to this book, I was so excited to continue with Cooper and Nora's story. But, I was also a little worried about this book having six points of view. Six! Three couples, three relationships. Actually, four relationships if you include the one between the siblings. I shouldn't have worried. Meghan Quinn is a must-read author for me and I've enjoyed everything she has written. This book is so wonderful! It felt really real--all of their feelings and emotions that they each felt. The far-fetched story -- and its many incredible twists, one after the other -- is hard to believe, but at least reasonably entertainingly knotted and layered and then explained. Mom sighs, and the queue inches forward again. It’s been ten minutes since we joined line five, and we’ve almost reached the first curve. Eight belted lanes between us and the gate agent at ten minutes per lane; my guess is we’ll be out of here around two thirty. I don’t share that with Mason. I don’t know how you can read in here,” Mason says, squatting down next to me. “It’s loud as hell.”

Liv pushes herself so hard to stay professional, restraining her feelings when she’s around Ransom but their attraction is palpable and undeniable. On the other hand, the writers think for reboot of the show with radical changes which probably affect Liv’s decisions to be part of the show! So if you are looking for a Dark Thriller, with plenty of secrets, lies and mystery then you will love THE REUNION.
