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.
