A pleasant surprise about family and love. After reading One Night we met Cooper and Nora. The Reunion focuses on the three siblings as they “plan” the anniversary party for their parents. They don’t quite have the connection they used to and it’s definitely cramped their party planning. However, they’ve each managed to find soulmates more than happy to aid in their personal growth as well as sibling issues. Reading a book with three romances kept things very interesting, never a dull moment. It’s not necessary to read Cooper and Nora’s story but it plays into their relationship and it’s just fun. I received an early copy of this book and have given my review honestly.

After listening to the novella prequel to this book, I was so excited to continue with Cooper and Nora's story. But, I was also a little worried about this book having six points of view. Six! Three couples, three relationships. Actually, four relationships if you include the one between the siblings. I shouldn't have worried. Meghan Quinn is a must-read author for me and I've enjoyed everything she has written. This book is so wonderful! It felt really real--all of their feelings and emotions that they each felt.

Ford, Cooper and Palmer Chance are home to plan and attend their parents' anniversary party. The relationship between all of them is strained and distant. Each of them have their own ideas of how to plan the party which just festers all of their ill feelings toward each other. While dealing with each other, they also are dealing with potential relationships. Cooper is my favorite Chance sibling, while I thought Palmer needed a little growing up to do. She was somewhat hateful towards Chance, which irritated me.

This book really has it all. There are plenty of moments that made me laugh (especially with Martin and Peggy Chance, the parents). I don't think I've read an argument scene as strong as the one between the three siblings in this book. Emotional and painful and so honest and real.

Thank you so much Montlake Publishing, NetGalley and the author for an advanced readers copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

I was so excited for this story! Three romances, revolving around siblings reuniting to throw their parents an anniversary party set in the beautiful pacific northwest.

I think I’m going to be in the minority here but unfortunately this just didn’t work for me. Because there was so much going on with the three intertwining stories, it never really got very deep and the conflicts felt shallow. I didn’t feel like we really got to know the characters very well with the point of view bouncing around so often.

The majority of the book is them sniping at each other, only for it to predictably blow up in their faces. The conflicts were all resolved very very quickly and all at time which seemed a little convenient.

My biggest issue, however, was Palmer. I’m not sure why sometimes the author's heroines are so absurdly over the top. I have no problem with flawed characters, but there has to be something likable for you to want them to succeed and that didn’t happen here for me. Palmer acted like a manipulative bratty teenager the entire time and I couldn’t understand why Beau was into that.

I have never read Meghan Quinn before but I thoroughly enjoyed the story of siblings that are reunited to celebrate their parent's anniversary.

The Reunion is such a fantastic book. It has everything you could want in a rom-com. Meghan Quinn has handled six povs and each storyline beautifully. I loved the complexities and dynamics of all the relationships and how splendidly they all came together.

Ford is the oldest and the serious one who's out of touch and needs a life outside of his job. He's headed home to the PNW to help with his parent's party. Feeling the weight of needing to keep the family store successful he makes it a working trip and brings his assistant Larkin. Larkin and Ford have always kept it professional, each anxious to cross the line and let their real feelings be known. Unrequited love at its finest.

Cooper is the middle child and a grump who's working on finding what he really wants in life. If you've read The One Night (which you definitely should if you haven't) it's been a whole year since his one-night stand with his ex-wife's best friend, and Cooper finds himself in Norah's bakery ordering a cake for his parent's anniversary party. Awkwardness ensues and it is glorious and cringy.

Palmer is the baby and a free spirit who's down on her luck and needs a soft place to land while she figures out her next step. After her plan to just not leave after "visiting" is ruined by the news of her parents selling their house she has an unfortunate incident with a picnic table and a bottle of wine. The town doctor, Dr. Beau, happens to be her high school crush, and the boy who saved her when she needed help the most. Opposites attract is always delightful.

With aging parents who need more help every day and fractured relationships, the three siblings need to learn to have trust and help each other.

So much happens it's impossible to mention every little thing. It's absolutely hilarious and full of all the feels. The tension is off the charts with all three couples. There are several chapters that end on little cliffhangers, things are starting to happen the anticipation is building, and then BAM, it's someone else's chapter next. I was engrossed and dying to know what would happen from the very beginning. At its heart, it's about family. No matter how it's made, no matter how it came to be, if you're born into it or choose it, the people you love, and who love you are the most important. I can not recommend this enough.

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.

The central plot running throughout the book is one of family and how the Chance siblings, who were once so close have now as adults drifted apart. When they try and organise their parents wedding anniversary party things are not smooth sailing. I really enjoyed this feuding sibling storyline, it was present constantly and did not overshadow the romance either. Obviously this is a romance novel so each of the siblings pair up and have their own coupling as the book progresses. What Meghan did well for me was establishing each character superbly as an individual. As well as giving each couple their own dynamic. There was plenty of humour, chemistry, witty banter and tension in it's many forms. I well blended small town, romance novel with family feels mixing a little bit of old school Meghan format with the talented Author she is today.

Thanks to Netgalley, Montlake Publishing and the author for an ARC of this book - I have not been paid for this review and am leaving it voluntarily.

I have no idea how I have lived my life without ever reading one of this author's books before. Clearly, I have been living under a rock. I feel very honoured to be able to review Meghan Quinn's book, The Reunion, a story of three siblings coming home to plan their parent's wedding anniversary party. The Chance siblings were once close, but over time they have drifted apart. Now they have to work together to do plan a party for their parents, who they all adore. But old jealousies and rivalries get in the way and have to be overcome before the siblings tear their family apart forever.

There are love interest's in this story, who are just wonderful (Nora's my hands down favourite) but the real love story is the one about family - how easy it is to drift apart, how hard it is to forgive each other and how the imperfections can make a family perfect.

I actually cried - in sorrow and in joy - which is rare for me. But what's even rarer is that I actually cried with laughter. Actual laughter tears people - so hard that my kids asked me what I was reading and whether they could read it too (they could not - not appropriate!)

The only teeny tiny criticism I would have is that it ended a little abruptly. I didn't want to drag out the HEA, it was perfect, but perhaps one more leap ahead would have been more conclusive. But it's only a tiny thing and probably linked to the fact that I didn't want to leave the Chance siblings and their parents so soon.

I DNF this book, I read up to 20% and couldn't push myself to read anymore due to different reasons.

1) I felt like this story had way too many POV's
2) The characters were one dimensional
3) The dialogue was juvenile
4) The story was confusing, there was way too much going on.

Due to the fact that I did not finish the book and I don't like to rate books when I don't, I will not be rating this book elsewhere.

Unfortunately I have to rate it on here because I wouldn't be able to send in my review.

The Reunion is a fun spirited ride through a turbulent sibling relationship that has all the steamy chemistry of a Meghan Quinn romance, but also a sweet and touching family drama.

Ford, Cooper, and Palmer have come together to plan a 50th anniversary party for their parents on their old home turf. Ford is a driven workaholic who has taken charge of the family company, Cooper is the son who stayed and takes care of his parents while doing a job he hates, and Palmer is the daughter who ran and never came back. All three have their own issues, and issues with their siblings that have stayed bottled.

Along with their own opinions about how their parents' anniversary party should be, they each have their own secrets, and their own romantic interests to deal with while they're home. This book has all the great sibling banter, the great flirty chemistry, and the madcap moments that I've come to love in all of Meghan Quinn's books. The Reunion is just another example of why Meghan Quinn is one of my must read authors!

Thanks to Montlake Publishing for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author, for an ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
The synopsis of this book sounded intriguing to me so I requested a copy to read.
Unfortunately, I have tried reading this book on 2 separate occasions and during this 2nd attempt, I have
decided to stop reading this book
and state that this book just wasn't for me.
I wish the author, publisher and all those promoting the book much success and connections with the right readers.

A fiftieth anniversary means a party and a reunion for siblings Ford, Cooper and Palmer. The "children" have not been as lucky in love as the parents. Each of them, and each of their partners, have their say here. The multiple POVs meant I was periodically confused as to who went with who but in the end, it all worked out. This is a bit trope-y but the characters are good. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

I didn't know how I was going to feel reading from 6 different characters' perspectives. I was worried that the story would get jumbled and I'd forget who I was reading about. I'm happy to say this did not happen more than a couple of times. The characters had such unique personalities it was pretty easy to recall who you were reading about. This story was intriguing, but had moments that were easily predicted. I found myself laughing out loud frequently, which really made me enjoy the story. It was a good one and I do recommend it.

One of the things I can always count on from a Meghan Quinn rom-com is laugh out loud moments. There were quite a few in this book, including a few times where I woke my husband up laughing.

This books definitely has its on feel to it, partly because it has SIX points of view. The three Chance siblings and their partners. I loved getting into each of their heads with their thought processes and emotions.

Since we have three couples we also get three different (main) tropes, which was really fun. I actually really enjoyed how the author would end her chapters and dive into another character/couple. It really kept me invested.

Not only was this book about romance, but at its heart was about family, and how none of them are perfect. They all had some major baggage to work through to find their way back to happy.

I knew I wanted to read this as soon as I finished The One Night and got an introduction to the Chance siblings and their parents. Read it first if you can, even though The Reunion works on its own.
Ford, Cooper, and (younger sister) Palmer Chance all come back to the small island near Seattle where they grew up. It's their parents' 50th anniversary, and the siblings bickering intensifies as they try to plan a party. Each of them has some reasons to unhappy in their jobs and their lack of love lives, and time on the island gives them opportunity to reflect.
This book was perfect Meghan Quinn, with funny moments and lots of things I could relate to. The women are strong and sometimes sassy. The book is told, over the span of about a month, from six POV - each of the siblings and their love interests. I loved reading it like this, because you got to see what everyone was thinking, and there were three relationships to root for in one book, but they were all different tropes. There is a nice ending and a good epilogue a couple years down the road.

I really enjoyed The Reunion - it was a fast read with a lot of fun, interesting characters and some serious but real moments throughout. Going into it, I was a little hesitant about the 6 POVs. It mostly worked, but I wanted more from all of them - it felt like we were continually skimming the surface and not getting deep enough with any of the characters because they were all fighting for attention.

Ford Chance is the oldest, the responsible one, the peacekeeper and the one running his family’s business. He’s still trying to prove himself as worthy of the business and throws his all into making it successful, isolating himself from his family and life outside of work. Larkin Novak is Ford’s assistant, but she’s much more than that - she’s his best friend, biggest confidant and his sounding board. She’s working to help Ford find his passion for the family business and find his happiness again and they finally give in to their feelings for each other along the way. It felt a little cliche, but they really did complement each other well.

Cooper Chance is the middle child - he’s a little broken after his divorce, but he’s working on it - taking classes to change careers and trying to find what makes him happy. He’s the biggest sweetheart and, even when things go wrong, he’s my favorite Chance sibling. Nora McHale is Cooper’s ex-wife’s best friend - she’s snarky, honest, direct and incredibly patient with Cooper. She gets pulled into their family drama and handles it well. These two were my favorite couple, partially since we got more of their story (from The One Night prequel novella), their chemistry and their connection.

Palmer Chance is the youngest and was single-handedly the reason I had problems with this book. She’s keeping so many secrets of her own (and has been for years), but acts like a child every time someone points out something real about her or asks a question about her emotions/well-being. Dr. Beau Novak has always had a crush on Palmer (no clue why…) since high school and saves her multiple times - something I didn’t love. He’s a really kind, smart and caring guy but I just didn’t feel the connection between these two.

So much of this story was about the Chance family dynamics and drama. The three siblings have spent years growing apart and inadvertently hurting each other and it all comes to a head at their parents’ anniversary party. I felt a little let down by how quickly and neatly things worked themselves out between the three of them and wanted more. The problems with their romantic relationships hinged on them fixing their sibling relationship, so those also fixed themselves too quickly afterwards as well. After all the build up, it all just gets wrapped up so conveniently.

Overall, I enjoyed The Reunion and would definitely recommend this one to rom com and family saga fans, but I found myself wanting more from the Chance siblings and definitely more from their relationships.

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy.

In this read we follow three siblings, Ford, Cooper and Palmer, who reunite in their hometown to throw their parents an anniversary party. Their parents own a chain of outdoor adventure shops, which Ford runs on his own without the help of his siblings. We quickly learn that the kids do not get a long as we read their snippy email communication regarding the planning of the party. All three unite and things do not go well, each having their own opinion and secrets they are hiding from each other. We follow from each perspective as well as the love interests that arise while they are there. When things do not go as planned, they are forced to share the feelings and what stemmed all the tension. A fun family drama/comedy!

**3.75 Stars**

The Reunion is about three siblings who return home to attend their parents 50th wedding anniversary, but unfortunately while in the planning stages, the party as well as their relationship unravels causing a heap of problems. The plus is that the siblings are able to develop relationships with love interests that they haven't had the opportunity to in the past.

This review is a little difficult to write as there were parts of the book I really liked and parts that didn't quite work for me. I loved the parents...they clearly loved their children and gave them a wonderful life, and I loved the idea of the children planning a party for their parents to celebrate their love. I really liked most of the siblings love interests, particularly Larkin and Nora. I loved Nora's spunky and sassy attitude and good heart and I loved how wonderful Larkin was for Ford. I even mostly liked Cooper and Ford as I felt like beneath the conflicts in the story, they had a good heart. I did struggle A LOT with Palmer's character. I just really could not relate with her at all and it wasn't about her lack of direction in life, it was more about her personality.

The major conflict in the story had me feeling really bad which isn't what I am looking for in my romance books. It was just too much at times, especially at the peak. I did think the book had some seriously funny parts that had me laughing out loud, and it ended on a seriously high note.

I'll admit I was skeptical of how much I'd enjoy this book. It's about three separate couples, all crammed into one story? There's no way you could get deep enough with all those characters to connect with them and feel their individual love! Well, thankfully, you totally could. All three siblings - Ford, Cooper, and Palmer, and their love interests got a point of view. They all had fantastically different types of love stories- from office romance, second chance, to remembering someone from childhood. Not only that, but the book also focussed on them finding themselves again at home, and reconnecting with their family.

There are a couple moments I couldn't help but highlight because they were so funny, and I loved their parents. This was a great read and well done with so many balls to juggle. I liked how just when you get drawn into a moment with one couple, it switched to someone else. Kept me hooked.

What an amazing and unique concept in writing! Ms. Quinn did a fabulous job of writing an emotionally charged novel surrounding the dynamic of the three Chance siblings--Ford, Cooper and Palmer. The basis of the storyline initially starts with Ford, Cooper and Palmer returning home to celebrate their parents' 50th wedding anniversary, but it's so much more than that! I was shockingly surprised that Ms. Quinn was able to write 6 POV's (yes, 6!) each sibling, including each of their love interests, and she kept the story from becoming a confusing hot mess. Each chapter flowed into the next one and the next one and considering that this is a rather long read, I devoured it in no time. I laughed, I cried and I thought about these wonderful characters long after I finished reading. This is a well-written, heartwarming story focusing on the ups and downs of being part of a family -- the misunderstandings that everyone experiences, the feelings of inadequacy, the jealously, but also the deep abiding love and compassion among all of them. We got a brief glimpse into Cooper and Nora's story in the prequel, The One Night, as well as being introduced to the parents of the Chance siblings, Martin and Peggy, who are an absolute hoot! They're the best--I adored these two! I was emotionally invested in every single character in this book--Ford & Larkin, Palmer & Beau, Cooper & Nora, Martin & Peggy. The Reunion gave me all the feels and will stay with me for a long time! Thank you Meghan Quinn and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an ARC for my honest opinion.

4.5 stars

I've seen Meghan Quinn's name thrown around on BookTube and Bookstagram so when I saw this on NetGalley, I figured it would be the perfect place to jump in.

This is definitely one of the heavier romances that I have read in recent memory. Our three main characters are all members of a very loving, but currently dysfunctional family and Quinn does an excellent job of making us understand their flaws. It is definitely hard at times to watch them behave so callously towards each other, but you always understand the place of hurt that they are coming from. I think it was a great choice by Quinn to also include POVs of the three significant others as well so that they also become well-rounded characters as opposed to these perfect people that get put up on a pedestal by the MCs.

Be warned: this book is long and can definitely get uncomfortable at times. However, it is also a captivating piece of writing that will take you on a roller coaster of emotions.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review!
