Not that interesting. A good look at Harvard.

I enjoyed this book, a story about friends meeting again at their 15-year Harvard reunion. The story is told by four main characters. It explores multiple subjects: friendships, parenting, AI, politics, love and status. The characters are all so contrasting, complex and interesting. One of my favourite quotes from the book was: 'Happiness is a noun, so we think it's something we can own. But happiness is a place to visit, not a place to live'. The hedonic treadmill we are all on! Cleverly written characters and their own perspectives of their world. They felt like real people and I want to know what happens next!

To be honest i didn't personally enjoy this book.
Only gave it 2 stars.
I didn't feel a connection to the characters.
Not the usual type of book that i would read.
Thanks to @betterreading for a copy to review.

2.75 too many unanswered questions, too much inner dialogue, but the subject was interesting and I loved the dynamic between characters.
Overall entertaining, if not conclusive.

This audiobook was only okay. I mainly read it because it was free on audible, and I don't think it's memorable overall. Just a Harvard 15 year reunion story with a twist.

I read the synopsis for this one and was instantly drawn too it. From students to Harvard graduates. These friends have been through it all. In the lead up to their 15year reunion some are more excited than others.
The book flips between POV of all the friends, now middle aged life’s taken them all in different directions. For the reunion they are all heading back to their campus at Harvard to spend the weekend together. But when a member of the class idols found dead they begin to have doubts about each other and start asking questions.
This one subtly sneaks up on you the bam. Love, lives, loss, unhappiness and murder. Everyone’s got secrets, the good the bad and the ugly!
