This book recounted the days leading up to and including a high school reunion - a 40th reunion. I did mine this year so was interested in the story. The book was amusing and had some poignant moments, and did not fall into the cliches that could have easily persented themselves. Ms. Berg developed some characters better than others, and expressed their trepidation at seeing old friends again. The "losers" are now the winners and the popular jock who expects to be the hit of the reunion turns out to be a pathetic kind of character, trying so hard to win back his wife, who brings someone else to the reunion. There were interesting snippets that I could relate to, and I appreciated the self realization that most of the characters express as they look back on their lives, who they were and who they have become.
