This book was AMAZING! It will hit you with all the emotions but more importantly it will make you think about your own life. The characters are so well done you want to become part of the group yourself. The whole book was perfect!

I cried, I laughed and I cried some more throughout the aptly named "All Together Now" by Matthew Norman. The rich characters, moral dilemmas, situations that seem insurmountable and intricately woven relationships had me weeping and rooting for EVERYONE. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

This was a lovely novel, dealing with a bad subject, dying. When Robbie Malcolm, a billionaire, is told he has only months to live, he gathers his 3 closest friends to share his last days. He decides he can fix their lives before his death. It actually makes for a great read in the hands of this very gifted novelist.

I felt drawn into the lives of the 4 best friends. The author paints 4 portraits of these interconnected people, bringing the reader up to date on their friendship and current issues. They are all likable and well developed. No hidden stories, no real flaws. Robbie does put their lives on a different trajectory, though not the ones he planned for them.

I really enjoyed this novel, its sensitivity and the homage to friendship that never dies.
I certainly recommend this to book groups. There’s lots to discuss after the members have relished tge book.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read, review and enjoy this novel.

This book gave me all the feels. Best book I've read in a while. (ok, it WAS a pretty low bar, but still....)

This was a beautiful bittersweet look at friendship. It's the group of friends that we all want to have. There is some drama of course, but no silly manufactured angst.

Is it possible it was TOO sweet? I don't know -can chocolate lava cake be too sweet? It all depends on the person.

I could not stop reading it - this was one of those "just one more chapter" books that keep you up way past your bedtime. I loved the characters and I loved the story and I wish it was longer.

I want to thank the author, the publisher and #netgalley for the ARC. This did not impact my review, as evidenced by the fact that I am now downloading another book from this author to read. Loved his writing style.
