Thank you netgalley for allowing the ARC.

I really enjoyed the story.

I absolutely adore novels with lifelong friendships. I lost a friend to leukemia in high school. I was able to relate to the story in many ways.

I highly recommend this book. I look forward to rewarding more from Ms. Bluemenfield.

There's not much more important in life than good friends. When Becca is 15 she suffers from Hodgkin's Lymphoma and her family and tight knit group of friends fear she might not make it. One day the friends make Beca tape modeled after a Saturday Night Live show to try and cheer her up and thus The Cast is born.

Fast forward 25 years, Beca is happily married to Nolan and has a precious daughter Emma and best friend Jordy has planned a reunion of the cast to Celebrate Becca. But Beca has a secret she is keeping from The Cast and a crack is forming in her relationship with Nolan. Decisions made during the reunion weekend will change the lives of The Cast forever.

I really liked this book! I was interested in the story lines of all of the cast members, Seth, Lex, Holly and Jordanna - not just Beca's. I found Beca and Nolan's issue to be in interesting one and not one that I had seen tackled in fiction before. I did wonder many times while reading how often that is an issue in a relationship.

Overall an interesting, entertaining read!

This book is exceeding my expectations. i thought this would be another slice-of-life story, centering the then terminally ill character, but it’s not. It is about the journey they have when they were growing up, about the choices, the heartbreak, the betrayal. The book also capture that when your loved ones is sick, especially with the serious-terminal illness, it will also affect you too. And it’s okay to be scared, it’s okay to be exhausted once a while.

I also love how the author portray the main characters, it’s realistic. Except the mommy and daddy of Becca that I think is too good to be true.

Thank you netgalley and publishers for providing the arc.

I am drawn to stories about deep, long-lasting friendships. This is an excellent example and I enjoyed it quite a lot.
