This was a cute read. We follow four best friends that back in high school were ready to take over the world. Years later they realize that life has gotten the better of them and some of them have put their dreams aside to take care of their families. At their 25th high school reunion they decide they will makes those superlatives they worked so hard to get come true and become the women they wanted to be.

I appreciated that this was a diverse group of women that came from different backgrounds and all had different goals in life. It was interesting to see the difference from what the friends planned on doing after high school verses what they actually did, which is so relatable. For the most part, this book is very lighthearted, nostalgic, and at times at humorous, but it does touch on some heavier topics such as eating disorders, bullying and miscarriages. While I don't think this is a book that will stick with me, it does make you sit back and ask yourself if you are truly where you want to be in life.
