Title: The Reunion
A chance to reconnect.
A chance to get revenge . . .
Emily Toller has tried to forget her time at university and the events that led to her suddenly leaving under a cloud. She has done everything she can to forget the shame and the trauma – and the people involved. She has tried to focus on the life she has built with her children and husband, Nick.
But events like that can’t just be forgotten. Not without someone answering for what they’ve done.
When an invitation arrives to a University reunion, everything clicks into place. Emily has a plan.
Because if you can’t forget – why not get revenge?
Slow but interesting burn ramping up to a twisty and unpredictable conclusion.
All told from Emily's point of view, in a mix of past chapters surrounding her time at Cambridge, and the present which is to do with 15 year reunion at Cambridge, and her determination to make people pay for the reason she left under a cloud.
I can't say I necessarily by the end of this book particularly liked any character, many of them were clearly meant to be figures to be hated, and with Emily herself, I just found she was lacking a backbone, what I initially thought was courageous by the end I felt was her just kowtowing to someone else's will.
The last perhaps 30-40% of the book I read in one sitting unable to put it down, as it suddenly became compulsive reading, and I just had to know how everything would resolve. It was great.
This is a cleverly plotted novel that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
