A Welcome Reunion: A Short Story by Lucinda Berry

3.0

I was very hesitant with my decision to read this one, but since I was able to get it for free with my Prime membership, they provided the ebook and audiobook I figured I didn’t have anything to lose. It’s the follow up to The Perfect Child and while I personally was never looking for more, I didn’t hate it. It’s very short and doesn’t leave room for fluff. She could have stretched this into a full length novel but I am glad she didn’t. Do I think it’s a must read? Absolutely not. Do I think you need to read The Perfect Child before this? Yes. But even if it’s been some time since you’ve read it you can jump right into A Welcome Reunion because she does a good job of reminding you about the important plot points that transpired. I think the real question was did it ruin The Perfect Child? And for me personally no, but I’m able to compartmentalize and I actually liked the ending of the novella.
