I really like this adventure of a story. It was fun to watch all the characters reconnect and see the differences and what had stayed the same about them after 25 years. I liked the twists and that Tip was such a gray character. The flashbacks to high school in the 80s was really great. As a speech kid I could relate to some parts of the book and the email of Tip reconnecting with Jennifer was so cringe because they seemed to both be trying to sound so smart.
Moderate: Alcoholism
Tip struggles with a relapse of his alcoholism at one point in the book.
