In Twenty Years by Allison Winn Scotch

4.0

In Twenty Years was an entertaining read that really made me think about the process of growing older. A group of six friends at Penn shared a house and believed that their relationships would endure the test of time as they headed out into the real world. Time, the death of one of the six (Bea), and life splinter the group apart. On the eve of what would have been Bea’s 40th birthday, the friends end up reuniting for a long weekend at the house where they lived in college. As the group attempts to survive the weekend together, each individual must come to terms with the state of his/her own life and relationships. I felt the resolution was realistic and hopeful even though I did feel like it was a trouble filled group. I enjoyed the book and was glad I read it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
