Reunion by Hannah Pittard
5.0
I've only ever given stars on here after reading a book. I never write reviews. Mostly because I'm terrible at pouring out my views and opinions in writing but here goes ...
I don't know what else to say other than I loved this book. I rarely LOVE a book. My opinions range from "like" to "it was okay." But I loved this one. Probably because it rang so true to my own life (minus death of a parent by suicide). But the sibling relationships and the emotions surrounding the death of a parent, MAN! I could identify with it! It's different for every family but THIS was MY family.
The characters are well written and rich in personality. Even all of the many step children. I felt like I'd known each of them at some point in my life. And perhaps I have in some way or other. And this sounds cliche, but Kate and I are one in the same. From the lack of money management, stagnant career, pressure for kids from the spouse, right down to overthinking a situation. Kate is my adult literary spirit character. (I'm weird like that).
Anywho, in summary, death, siblings, infidelity, extended family, growing up, regret, wishing for what was, these things are what Reunion is all about.
