I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was a refreshing and captivating experience, and I found the writing to be both engaging and accessible. The story flowed smoothly, making it easy to stay connected to the plot and characters without feeling lost or overwhelmed. The author struck a perfect balance, keeping things interesting while still making the content feel approachable. Overall, it was a wonderful read, and I would definitely recommend it to others who are looking for an enjoyable and easy-to-digest book.

Light hearted romance, feel good vibes and the perfect pace. i really enjoyed this one and I’m thankful for being able to read it!

This story follows 6 friends at their 10 year high school reunion. They were each voted as a “Most Likely To…” at the end of high school, but none of them fit the person who they have become. It’s hard to believe in the moment during high school that we won’t be the same person 10 years later. We think we’ll be that same teenager once we’re an adult, but we change a lot. There were some funny and unexpected moments in this story that made it a fun read!

The Reunion is a great story!

Thank you Wattpad Books for sending me a copy of this book!

Standard romantic fare with a cute couple. It moves steadily and offers a lighthearted look at a couple you wish the best for.

I really wanted to love it, but it was just all over the place and hard to follow at times. I think it was to many POV, and not enough back story, I think it would have been better as a series maybe. There were moments that were really good then it would switch to a different POV, and I would get sidetracked and not invested.

Thank you to NetGalley and W by Wattpad Books for copy of this story for my honest review.

Rating : 3.5/5

I absolutely loved the vibes on this one!! Lately I’ve been wanting books that have plenty of banter and is quick to read and this was exactly that!

I think the author did a great job writing a book that took place in only ONE night!! Like how many can do that and still produce suchhhh a good book !

The reason I’m not giving it a five star though, some of the characters although funny were somewhat annoying and some never really changed throughout the book. But I will say… Ashley and Ryan were my absolute favorite characters of the book lol!

I had a hard time getting into this book. It might be the mood I am currently experiencing. It wasn't a bad book per se, but it wasn't my favorite by Beth Reekles.

*The Reunion* by Beth Reekles was absolutely everything I was hoping for and more! I was hooked from the first page. The story follows the reunion of a group of old friends after years apart, and it's full of nostalgia, friendship, and plenty of romantic tension. Reekles does an amazing job of capturing the complexity of reconnecting with people from your past, especially when those feelings are no longer as simple as they once were.

The chemistry between the main characters, particularly between the leads, is *electric*. You can feel the history between them, and their dynamic keeps you turning the pages, wondering what will happen next. The slow-burn romance was perfectly done—it felt real and earned, not rushed or forced.

I also really appreciated how Reekles weaved in themes of personal growth, the challenges of adulting, and the way friendships change over time. It felt so relatable, and I found myself reflecting on my own friendships and past relationships while reading.

The pacing was great, with just the right balance of drama and light-hearted moments, and the setting of the reunion itself added an extra layer of charm. It’s the kind of book that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, but also gives you all the feels when things get a little more complicated.

If you're into emotional, character-driven stories with plenty of heart, *The Reunion* is a must-read. It's definitely one of my favorite books of the year!

3.5 rounded to 4/5

One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was that it was written in multi-person POV. As we read, we follow 6 classmates who are at a class reunion and see how their lives changed from what they thought would happen, compared to what did happen in their lives. The main story is about the two that were voted Most Likely to Kill Each Other and how they see each other after the 10 years have passed.

This book was harder for me to get into, but once I got the feel of the writing, I did enjoy it. I will recommend this book to others.

Thank you for the copy, this is my honest opinion. Please be aware of any trigger warnings, as your mental health is most important.

This book was the perfect light and easy read for my to escape from work for a minute this week. It was also fascinating because the main character graduated in 2014 from their high school theater program and is now back and teaching that same program, all things that directly reflect my own life!

In this story, several characters return to their school for a ten year reunion and find that life looks much different than what they had imagined for themselves all those years ago.

Old flames are rekindled, new flames are lit, and truths about growing up and moving on are revealed. All in all, a solid read.

The Reunion by Beth Reekles is an enjoyable, fun, laugh out loud read!
Such a cute and adorable story. And I freaking devoured it!
The characters are all fantastic and develop perfectly throughout the book.
I had so much fun reading this one. She just has a way of pulling you in and you fall in love with the characters, setting and book.

This book was cute. It was a light fun romance. I would have wished for more conflict between Liv and Ransom. But overall a cute book.

DNF @ 20%

I’m not sure if it was the writing style I wasn’t moving with or the overall plot. The book felt really immature when the whole concept is a reunion so they should be mature, but they felt like they were still in high school and i just hated all the characters for that reason.

Ten years after graduating, the class of 2014 are back at Tisdale Comprehensive for their reunion, seeing how each other is doing and what each one has been up to since they graduated. With an evening of power cuts, fire alarms, sneaking off to explore classrooms in the dark, stolen kisses and heated fights - it's like they never left at all...

Shaun and Steph were once dubbed "Most Likely to End Up Together" are now engaged to other people, but when they see each other again they start to wonder what if...what if things had been different? And would if they ended up together after all?
"I can't help but grin back at her, and I know I'm done for." -Shaun

Bryony-"Most Likely to Become Famous"- She is a teacher at the high school she went to and is feeling immense pressure because she sets the entire party up and has to make sure no one finds out her secret...because she acts like one way on social media, but is an entirely different person in real life.
"There goes the lie. The beautiful dream of who I used to be."

Hayden-"Most Likely to Succeed"- He was the smartest out of the group and everyone knew it. He was super into techy type stuff and thought he would one day invent the next "it" piece of technology. However, after having his daughter, everything changed and he has become a stay at home dad.
"I decide I've made a dreadful mistake tonight: self-imposed success markers aside, I should have bailed when I had the chance."

Ashleigh-"Most Likely to Kill Each Other"- She had straight A's and was at top of her class who always had a plan and a backup if her plan fell through. She also had a rivalry with the rugby star, Ryan. They bullied each other, but it turned out that they actually fit together perfectly like a puzzle.
"He's still annoyingly good looking. Worse actually."

Ryan-"Most Likely to Kill Each Other"-He was the jock that everyone wanted to be friends with & of course he was also popular.
"But, as always when it comes to her---even if I've won this round---I know the game is only just beginning."

This reunion brought back so many memories both good and bad, in my opinion. You aren't defined by your superlative. You can be anything you want to be & high school really is ONLY four years of your life.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a copy of this digital ARC in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing this e-arc!

I was really excited for this one and did not know what to expect. The idea of one night capturing this reunion was executed well.

In a story spanning a single evening we meet the interesting and lively characters of a 10 year high school reunion.

The multiple POV gave us the messy realities of those returning to their High school space after 10 years with all the drama one could expect at a reunion. The multiple POV took us on a joyride following the reflection and banter each character brought to the evening and of course the life revelations that was revealed and up for discussion. It was easy to keep track of the banter and shenanigans that was this evening as well as to be pulled into the chemistry of the characters.

Though reflective there were varied levels of immaturity expressed by the characters that was challenging at times.

Overall it was a lighthearted, reflective YA like contemporary rom-com highlighting friendships, rivalry and self discovery.

Happy Reading!

The Reunion by Beth Reekles is a fun and thoroughly enjoyable read that feels like stepping back into high school after *ahem* just a few years away. With its multi-POV storytelling, this story captures the chaos, nostalgia, and drama of a ten-year reunion perfectly. The mix of old rivalries, rekindled romances, and fresh revelations keeps the story engaging and entertaining from start to finish. Each character brings something unique to the table, making it easy to find someone to root for—or roll your eyes at, just like high school all over again! Lighthearted, nostalgic, and full of heart, this book is a delightful trip down memory lane.

Beth Reekles's “The Reunion” has those all-star, multi-casted movie vibes, where everything takes place in one day. In this story, though, multiple characters are going to the same reunion, and various chapters focus on them. Readers will see how they will reconnect, but often enough, many over-embellish their accomplishments or lack thereof. Some are still holding onto the past or the memory of what used to be, struggling to move forward. There were some funny moments and some sad ones with the characters. I did like the central theme of the story, as well as some of the characters. I felt the number of characters impacted my ability to connect with them. And the ending wasn’t typically what I was expecting.

Thank you, Wattpad Books, Penguin Random House, and Beth Reekles, for the gifted Advanced Reader Copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The Reunion is a cute, fun, read that you don't want to miss. It shows how people change as they grow up but their true selves is always there. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants a good read!

3.5/5 ⭐
.5/5 🌶️

This was a fun multiple POV book. It takes place one night, around their High School class reunion.
There's 10 years of catching up that takes place for the characters. I was skeptical, at first, of starting the night with the characters and wasn't immediately drawn to any of their current lives initially. Over the story, I grew to like different pieces of their varying personalities. Now I'm a romance girlie through and through, so Ashleigh and Ryan as well as Steph and Shaun were my favorite storylines. Overall, this was a nice format and fun plot that I don't see much of with multiple POV.

Thank you #netgalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for the ARC!

Multiple POVs! Multiple tropes! So much tea!

Coming from someone who is dating their high school crush many years later… this was really cute. But me and my boyfriend are definitely skipping any future reunion’s 😅 Kind of all over the place in some parts but was a fun read.

Side note; I hated Bryony from the beginning.

Thank you NetGalley & Wattpad for the ARC!
