In Twenty Years by Allison Winn Scotch

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.

 Review: I was given a copy of In Twenty Years from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review.
This book was a very good book that looked at the lives of six college friends and how their last lives changed when one of them died and request them to return to where they lived together in college twenty years after their college graduation and what would have been her fortieth birthday. This is an emotional look at how friendships change over the years because of betrayals and how even if you think your friendship bonds are as strong as family ties they can be tested and sometimes they need a help to bring everything that really matters back into focus.
I am giving this book five out of five stars.
