Beautiful reunion with amazing characters and a love story that I just couldn’t get enough of throughout the book. I loved the steamy scenes and the family interaction overall. It felt so good and real everything in this story and I loved that

The Reunion was a heartfelt romance that made me laugh, smile, and swoon! I love anything Meghan Quinn writes and The Reunion did not disappoint!

I've had mixed feelings about Meghan Quinn's books, and yet I keep trying them! So many friends rave about her books, but unfortunately The Reunion just didn't hold my attention. With all the different POV it didn't feel like as much of a romance as I prefer.

RETAIL REVIEW
As Martin and Peggy celebrate their fiftieth anniversary their children must come together and get over their dislike for each other. They may even find that lasting love that their parents have found along their journey.

This book is full of steamy scenes and getting past old family disputes and falling in love. I would recommend this book for any romance lover who wants an easy read with a little bit of substance.

I loved The Reunion. Meghan Quinn is one of my one-click authors so I jumped into this one without reading the blurb. The first thing I noticed was that this one was a long one and got a little scared because I'm not a big fan of long books but I was hooked on the Chance siblings right from their email exchanges in the Prologue. We get six POVs in this one with 3 couples and it just flowed perfectly. I loved all of the characters. This family was fun and seeing the relationships between the couples build was great.

I was introduced to Cooper and Nora in the novella The One Night. Along with these two there were also his parents which were hilarious. Cooper’s brother Ford and sister Palmer appeared as well but via text.

The Reunion is all about the Chance Family. Every member plays a part in this story. I was most invested in Cooper and Nora and it’s mainly because I got the beginning of their story in the novella. I felt a connection with them already.
The other characters, members of the Chance family were great too but I didn’t care as much about them.

The 6 POV definitely played a part in the lack of my enjoyment of The Reunion. It was too many for my taste. It ruined the flow of the story. I would get into a part of the story and then the next chapter would change to a different character. That’s a personal preference.

Overall I liked The Reunion but it wasn’t my favorite for the author.

I have been so excited for the Reunion and the minute Brilliance Audio sent me my early copy I was ON IT!! This story held more emotional elements than most of Meghan Quinn’s books. Having 3 different relationship perspectives didn’t overwhelm me at all. I found myself falling for each and every one of them. Ford, Cooper, and Palmer are all siblings (the Chance siblings) and are tasked with putting on an anniversary party for their parents. Old rivalries pop up and everything begins to fall apart for each of them. Can they put aside past dramas, old jealousies, and self-doubt to fix their issues? Quinn was brilliant. This story is bursting with tenderness, an emotional element that I didn’t expect from Quinn… funny since I’ve read The Blue Line and The Perfect Duets.

So, it isn’t as light and as fun as some of Quinn’s other books but this one is just as brilliant. I felt something from this novel with the siblings all struggling to find their place. It resonated with me. I loved that each of the 6 perspectives had their own narrator. The narrators Lidia Dornet, Teddy Hamilton, Laurie West, Rock Engle, CJ Bloom, and Stephen Borne all did an excellent job. They really seemed to get the characters they played and brought them to life.

I really enjoyed the prequel novella to this, The One Night so I was super excited to read this but I ended up not loving it.

This story is told from 6 different POVS. The constant jumping around and cliffhangers were very irritating at times.

The bickering between the siblings and all the family drama was such a hot mess but it was pretty entertaining. If you aren’t a fan of family drama, I suggest skipping this.

Palmer was honestly so annoying. Like all of the siblings were pretty terrible but she takes the cake.

The last 40% of this book was so irritating and I almost DNF’ed a few times.

Having got a taster of what was to come in The Reunion when I read The One Night I was keen to get started. Reading this book reminded me of when I first started reading Meghan's work over 5 years ago. Her writing has progressed a lot and she handled the multiple POV's this book has with ease. As the plot is centred around the Chance siblings they pop up in each others chapters and there is a running family party plot that links them all together. So I found the switching between 6 POV's quite easy to follow here and cohesive overall for the book's structure.

This wasn’t one of my favorites from Meghan Quinn, but it still was good. I think there were too many POV’s for my taste. It became a little overwhelming when chapters changed. You would get into a part of the story and then the next chapter would switch you to different characters/stories. It made it hard to fall in love with the characters fully since they were continuously changing. I feel this book would have been better as three separate books. I have heard that the audio has six different narrators so I may give it another try in that format.

I love the story of 3 adult siblings who come together to plan their parent's 50th anniversary. These siblings are truly not following in the footprints that their long married parents thought they were providing an example of. Loved reading how the planning and the lives of the siblings develop, in unexpected ways! Light, fun read.

The chance family stole my heart and had me feeling all the feels in a way that left me exhausted by the end. 6POVS, Three couples + mum and dad and a lifetime load of baggage to unravel. It's safe to say it was a journey. But strangely very familiar to my own Dysfunctional family dynamic in many ways so it was relatable.

I loved Cooper and despite his flaws because of course he has them... I feel like he had the most shit even though his intentions were the best and being honest he was my favourite character.

Ford frustrated me and fascinated me with his need for control but also his very gentle sweet personality. It was jarring but somehow it worked.

Palmer is by far the most frustrating and at times extremely selfish character in the book. But she was a little broken and by the end I feel like I could understand her perspective better and even really like who she grew into.

Cooper & Nora just had me loving them from the start and I adore that Nora truly believed in Cooper and set him straight when it was needed.

Ford & Larkin they just made sense. Like two super sweet souls that felt right together.

Palmer & Beau worked because they had the whole opposites attract personalities. His soft soothed her sharp edges.

This whole book is a crazy ride that delves deep into what it's like to be a family. The good, the bad and the ugly.. every wound is exposed and every nerve is raw but in the end they love eachother because that's family. The unique perspectives of each character really added the depth needed to make this kind of story all the more relatable. Each character was different and had their own struggles that needed to be dealt with and I loved that their partners helped them along the way see a little light in the dark.

Their journey was frustrating and at times made me want to throw something. But it was also sweet, hilarious and relatably dysfunctional. I found myself loving each character for different reasons and rooting for their very own slice of contentment. I adore Mr and Mrs chance and their hilarious personalities.. honestly they stole the show countless times and had me laughing until my belly hurt. And the ending? It was the icing on the cake for me. The character development and growth is something so special because whilst it wasn't perfect each character took responsibility for their actions and made efforts to better their own futures and their relationships with eachother. It came full circle in the best way and gave me so much contentment.

Meghan Quinn has always been one of my go-to authors for romcoms and it was no different when I heard about this book. I was ready for more of her funny wit and quirky sense of humor and while I did get that, I was a little disappointed in how the story played out.
Unlike many of Meghan's other books, The Reunion felt like three novellas in one. We get six POVs that are all mixed and intertwined. These views belong to the Chance siblings, with the oldest Ford, middle Cooper and youngest Palmer, along with their counterparts.
With the 50th anniversary of their parents' anniversary looming, Ford, Cooper and Palmer have returned home in hopes of throwing their parents the best anniversary party, in thanks for all the love and support shown to them over the years. Now all older and wiser, these three aren't the close knit unit they once were when they were kids. Instead they argue, bicker and constantly disagree on everything. Each one of these Chance siblings has their own dramas outside of the family and this story shows their individual journey and how they navigate life, love and family.
Ford, the oldest, has always been a workaholic. Grateful to his parents for adopting himself and Cooper, he works hard to keep the family business relevant and running. Constantly working means he has no time for relationships and the only long-term relationship he's had with a female is his assistant Larkin. Not wanting to cross the boss/employee line, Ford has always kept things professional. What happens when these two return to their hometown?
Cooper is the middle child. Coming out of a divorce, he's an editor doing a job he hates and his parents are constantly trying to get him back into the dating game. He isn't really interested in anyone but a certain baker, Nora, does come to mind. Except Nora happens to be his ex-wife's best friend. They had a hot one night stand months before but with the ex-wife in the way, will Chance take a chance and pursue Nora?
Palmer is the youngest and the only biological child her parents had. Everyone thought when she left town that she had it all, living a lavish life, traveling the globe while posting her adventures on social media. Except that's the furthest thing from the truth. She's jobless has no money and is about to be homeless. She thought she would always have a home with her parents but when she hears that they're selling the family home to downsize, she gets a little drunk and ends up in the hands of Dr Beau. The boy she once had a crush on. She's a hot mess and he's a hot, reputable doctor. What happens when these two reunite?
Kudos to Meghan for trying to take this book in a different direction from her other books. While I did enjoy reading it, the back and fourth between characters and stories got confusing at times. I enjoyed the family emails and all the humor this book had to offer but I'm wishing this could have been three separate full-length stories instead of three mini stories in one. In saying that, I have not been dissuaded from future Meghan Quinn books and can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

I really liked this book. It’s a family drama story with romance thrown in. The Chance family owns a sporting goods store that’s an institution in sporty Seattle, where camping, hiking, and water sports are ubiquitous. The store has lost some of its family mystique over the years, even with the eldest Chance son in charge. In addition, the 3 kids have squabbled so much over the years that their closeness is gone. They’re all single and not happy.

From the Publisher:
“From the USA Today bestselling author of The Wedding Game comes a new romantic comedy about the antics that ensue when three siblings come together for their parents’ fiftieth-anniversary party.
Martin and Peggy Chance believe love should last a lifetime. With their fiftieth wedding anniversary on the horizon, they’ve modeled a beautiful relationship for their three grown children. But to their dismay, that lesson hasn’t quite caught on—the three siblings just can’t seem to take a chance and find love in their own lives.”

After the kids ruin their parent’s anniversary party, they all realize things have to change to save the store and repair the family dynamic.

The three Chance kids all have potential partners, so there are a lot of characters involved. It’s not hard to keep track of once you get started. They all have their own issues to work through, and the author did a great job on each of their journeys.

There were so many things about this book to like, it was funny and dealt with serious issues at the same time. I highly recommend this book, 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I think only Meghan Quinn could write 6 POVs and pull it off. I am usually not a big fan of a lot of POVs, but here it never once bothered me. Each story smoothly fell into each other. Each romance was big on the swoon factor. Each sibling was compelling. I loved it and I loved this story. It all come together and it was such a fun read.

I guess my only complaint would be the predictability. I mean all romances are comforting in their familiar plot arcs. Of course we want that HEA! That said, even beyond the HEAs, I could see exactly where each character was going to end up and it did dull the story for me, and I did not fly as quickly through this read as I might have otherwise.

Of course it did absolutely leave me with a smile on my face and it did bring me a lot of joy. So this is Marie Kondo and April Perdomo approved. There is a lot of joy, family realness, and compelling relationships in this one that just makes it a great read overall.

Hilarious and charming story about siblings and their love interests. I really liked the idea for the storyline here, it definitely brought a lot of fun. As in Meghan Quinn's case, you can find here the banter, the wit, a bit of drama and all the swoons. Each couple provided their own heartwarming love story and I liked to see how everything was playing out for them. The bonus? Their wonderful parents, who were as funny as they were adorable.

However, 6 different POVs turned out to be too many for me, and at times I was getting too overwhelmed. Separate stories would be a better option for me personally, but that's really my own preference.

Overall- flirty, swoon-worthy and amusing novel that will put a smile on your face and make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

4.5 stars
I love Meghan Quinn and her stories. She is a master with words. I love the cover for The Reunion. I laughed so much and finished the book smiling. If you haven’t read The Reunion you should. You will love all the characters and the story. Read it!

This book has definitely put Meghan Quinn very high on my favorite author list. This story was so funny and made me think of my own family, although not as much tension normally. I loved having the prospective from all the different characters. The family dynamics and interactions were fun to read and watch as they changed over the story. I loved how the whole story was resolved.

If Meghan Quinn writes it, I will read it. I have binged more of her books than probably any author. I can’t get enough.

This book was different than your normal romance. If you love family drama mixed in with romance, this is for you. Meghan magically wrote 6 POV’s (3 couples), had them all intertwine, threw in some sibling/family drama, and then wrapped in all up with a pretty bow. This book is 429 pages and I read it all in one day.

Here is a little bit about each couple.
♥️ Ford and Larkin- Ford is the CEO of his family’s business. Larkin is his assistant. They head back home to help plan Ford’s parents anniversary party and we all know what happens.
♥️ Cooper and Nora- Cooper is the one sibling who still lives in town with his parents. He is the one helping them day to day. Nora is his ex-wife’s best friend. These two end up having a one night stand and then Cooper needs her help for the party.
♥️ Palmer and Beau- Palmer is the youngest sibling. She is trying to build her own career but finds herself needing to come home for a little to stay with her parents. Beau is the town doctor and the one who rescued Palmer when she was in high school. One night, Palmer drinks a little too much and gets hurt. Guess which doctors office she ends up in?

One more thing about this book that I just loved was that Ford and Cooper were adopted in the story. This played a role in each story. I found myself tearing up many times when this was being talked about. I thought Meghan talked about adoption so well.

The Reunion by Meghan Quinn is an ambitious romance covering six points-of-view, three relationships, and one destined-to-fail anniversary party.

Going home to Marina Island for their parents' anniversary party, all three Chance siblings - Ford, Cooper, and Palmer - have quite an adventure ahead of them. None of them really have their act together, despite the image they all show the world, and it's going to take some love and TLC from those closest to them to completely tear them down before building them back up.

Starting with the oldest sibling, Ford is all business with a savior complex when it comes to the family's business. His fear of failure, and how that would reflect on his parents, has led him to practically cut both of his siblings out of both planning and daily operations of the family store even though they both want to help. Cue Larkin, his personal assistant who might just be the only person who can break through his serious exterior and remind Ford what (and who) he loves most in life.

Cooper and Nora's story started in Quinn's prequel novella, The One Night. Cooper and Nora didn't exactly leave off on amicable footing so watching them deal with that fall out a year later was delicious in the best way possible. Cooper, as the middle child, definitely spent some time trying to find his place, but with Nora back in his life he was in a much better place both mentally and within his family dynamic.

And finally we have Palmer, the baby of the family. Palmer has recently lost her way; her influencer status is slowly slipping away and moving back home with mom and dad is looking like the only way to keep a roof over her head. But coming back for their anniversary party turns into a series of shocks and surprises for Palmer, including childhood crush-turned-doctor Beau. As Beau fixes Palmer's injuries, she realizes he's healing her heart and soul as well.

There were so many things to love about The Reunion. Quinn infused her whole cast of characters with her usual humor; even as they all continuously messed up, the Chance siblings still gave readers something to smile about. I particularly loved that each couple had widely different tropes, so no two siblings seemed like a rehashing of the other's story. With Ford and Larkin, we have a boss/employee romance; Cooper and Nora give us a second-chance romance; and finally, Palmer and Beau come through with the childhood crush romance. All three romances were fiery and sweet in their own ways, and I honestly can't pick which couple I liked the most. An plot element I'm particularly fond of in this story is Quinn's delicate handing of the experiences and expectations of foster kids. Both Ford and Cooper spent time in the foster system, and many of their adult decisions - including their commitment to the family business - stemmed from that feeling of temporariness they felt as foster kids. All three siblings also faced a moment of parental disappointment, and who hasn't feared or faced those kind of feelings as an adult?

Six different points of view is a lot for one book, but I do think Quinn pulled them off nicely. I was never confused about who was speaking, never lost as the perspectives changed. These three couples could have easily been written as three separate novellas, but there is so much interwoven between the three siblings that too much would have been lost if their stories weren't told in one volume.

I loved the wit, humor, and baggage each Chance sibling brought to this story. This was a fun read that also brought up some heavier topics and included just enough steam. I definitely recommend this one to fans of Meghan Quinn, fans of rom-coms, and fans who enjoy seeing stubborn siblings finally get what (and who) they deserve.

A huge thank you to Montlake for providing a review copy of The Reunion.
