"What could possibly go wrong at a high school reunion?"

Fresh Fiction Review

The Reunion

Reviewed by Evie Harris

Romance Comedy

High school reunions can go several different ways and bring many surprises.  The ten-year reunion of the 2014 graduating class of Tisdale Comprehensive was no exception. THE REUNION, by Beth Reekles, is told by multiple voices of the attendees who were put into the following categories: Most Likely To End Up Together, Most Likely To Become Famous, Most Likely To Succeed and my personal favorite: Most Likely To Kill Each Other.

Whether readers have been to a high school reunion or not, there is much about this story that is relatable.  The characters are totally believable because many of us have known people just like them. Ten years can bring about many changes and that is what is put forth in this narrative.  Did that couple end up together?  Who succeeded and did anyone become famous? And what about those two who were at each other throats for years? 

The characters are expertly drawn and their stories are compelling.  Their voices and dialogue are candid and often witty.  The power of the narrative comes from how they relate to each other. They surprise each other for a number of reasons.  Perhaps most important is what they learn about themselves.

Filled with heavy emotions and memorable happenings, THE REUNION is well worth reading.  Highly recommended.

SUMMARY

A ten-year high school reunion brings old secrets and new truths to light in this multi-POV romance from bestselling author Beth Reekles.

Ten years after graduating, the class of 2014 are back at Tisdale Comprehensive for the reunion, packed into a school gym full of familiar faces—and plenty of new secrets.

MOST LIKELY TO END UP TOGETHER - Shaun and Steph were each other's first love. Now, they're settled and planning the perfect wedding— to other people. Could reconnecting spark a new romance?

MOST LIKELY TO BECOME FAMOUS - Bryony was supposed to travel the world, rule the West End, have a dazzling career as a TV actress... Now, she's a drama teacher who's exaggerated her whole life on Instagram, and is desperate to save face.

MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED - Hayden was told he'd achieve great things, like be on the cover of TIME, win a Nobel prize... or, the accolade his daughters just awarded him: World's Best Dad. Is it too late for him to turn things around, and more importantly, does he even want to?

MOST LIKELY TO KILL EACH OTHER - Ashleigh was an A+ student, and Ryan the star of the school rugby team. After years of putting each other down, they left school each convinced they would have the better life. Now, that old rivalry finds them drawn back together in a new, intoxicating way—one they're both determined to hide.

With an evening of power cuts, fire alarms, sneaking off to explore classrooms in the dark, stolen kisses and heated fights—it's like they never left at all.
