By the end of this book, I did not want to finish it. Lots of food for thought about shared youthful pasts and what those friends mean to us now --- even if people have not kept in close touch over the years. Berg frames her story within the preparation for and attendance at a 40th high school reunion ---- but it is about a lot more.
I loved all the memories this brought back and Berg's insights into the conflicting feelings when one encounters those people and memories 40 years later. Even if these people were not good friends in HS, those shared past experiences have created a forever bond.
I wrote down a quote I really liked in the book:
"Reunions show us that it's not that you can't go home again, it's that you can never leave."
I think that is so true, because we all carry that "home" in our hearts no matter where we live.Get more detail about The Last Time I Saw You: A Novel.
