It's the case of "It's so dumb it's smart". Just as I expected from Guillaume Musso, honestly.

Book outlet read #1. 2.5 rounded down.
Writing: 3.5/5 | Plot: nah bruv/5 | Endning: super nah/5
THE PLOT
Vinca ran away with her philosophy teacher. Or that's what they want you to think. Three friends are reunited 25 yrs later for a school reunion, where secrets are exposed, and lives are changed forever.
MY OPINION
Ok so I thought my new 20% rule before I DNF would help me avoid giving books 1/2 stars... but Guillaume Musso said "challenge accepted!" What started off as a scrumptious read quickly turned into a plot hole carnival. It was almost too fake for fiction.
I picked this up because I'm a huge wh0re for anything French. Maybe because I have a moniseur with the ski mask in my life. There's a lot of realism injected into this book, so if you're not familiar with French politics/culture/vibes in general, this may be painfully boring to you. I also enjoyed the tour de Cote d'Azur as Thomas ran around town tryna get to the bottom of things.
In the last 30% the book took a SHARP left into crazy land and I wanted to chuck this book into the recycling bin #happyearthday. Anyways. There were simply too many players in this story and not enough logic. I can't get into it because #spoilers, but you will be left cringing as you pinball between contrived explanations.
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).
PROS AND CONS
Pros: takes place in France
Cons: everything else like this had potential and the author said, hold my beer and just went buck wild

The mystery was good but I tend to dislike books with female characters that everyone finds irresistible and unforgettable. I find them intensely irritating and they demand too much faith in the strange charisma of this (usually awful) person to make them work.

Återträffen är en välskriven thriller fylld av familjehemligheter, relationer, vänskap och mord. Första halvan av boken fokuserar på vänskap och relationer där läsaren får en djup inblick i karaktärernas liv och deras historia. Andra delen av boken fokuserar på att lösa hemligheten som så länge har plågat karaktärerna, och denna del är oerhört spännande och snabbläst.
Guillaume Musso är en skicklig författare som genom intressanta karaktärer och djupa handlingar för läsaren genom en berg -och dalbana av tankar och känslor. Första delen av boken var aningen långsam, men samtidigt fick jag en fin bild av karaktärerna vilket jag uppskattade i bokens slut. Det blev djupare, mer känslosamt att ha lärt känna karaktärerna innan själva hemligheten kom ut.
Återträffen är en väl genomtänkt thriller som jag (trots den långsamma delen) inte kunde sluta läsa. Slutet tog nästan andan ur mig då jag verkligen inte kunde förutspå det, och jag tycker om hur författaren hela tiden chockar läsaren med oväntade vändningar och spännande händelser. Detta är en perfekt bok för er som vill läsa om relationer och djupa vänskapsband som har sammansvetsats genom gemensamma hemligheter. Välskriven, oförutsägbar och spännande!
