The Celebrants by Steven Rowley
3.0

A group of friends just graduating from college gather for the funeral of a friend. They decide to form a pact where they can bring everyone back together for their own funeral so that they can share how much they mean to each other while still alive. The story then proceeds through the funerals which occur over the next two decades. There is very little insight into the lives of the characters except for the glimpses during the funeral weekends. This made it very hard to connect emotionally with the characters so I wasn’t that invested in their struggles.
