_basicbookworm 's review for:

The Most Likely Club by Elyssa Friedland
4.0

In high school, Melissa, Priya, Tara, and Suki were the best of friends with successful lives ahead of them. They were each voted for an impressive superlative: Most Likely to Win the White House, Cure Cancer, Open a Michelin-Starred Restaurant, and Join the Forbes 400. Fast forward 25 years, only one of the friends (Suki) has achieved her dreams. At their 25th reunion, the other 3 band together and declare they are going to achieve their goals, forming the most likely club. But when Suki’s life starts to fall apart in a very public way, the friends all come together to rally around their friend.

I love a story about strong female friendships and thought this was such a fun premise. I loved seeing this group of friends still supporting each other even years after high school. It was also cool to see how they and their dreams changed as they got older. Add in all the 90s references, and this book was so much fun!

Thank you to Berkley Publishing for the advance copy and thank you to @berittalksbooks and @dg_reads for hosting a great buddy read!
