Who We Were
Katy is not the shy schoolgirl she once was, and she's looking forward to showing her classmates who she's become. Annabel was the queen bee, but her fall from grace changed her life forever. Zach was cruel, but he thinks he's changed. Robbie was a target. And he never stood a chance.
Their reunion will bring together friends and enemies, many for the first time in decades. But someone is still holding a grudge, and will stop at nothing to reveal their darkest secrets...
I can only imagine what these reunions could be like. I've never been to one and never intend to.
The inner core group of friends who were the popular ones and the ones they cast out of the group and the ones they ignored or mocked and bullied are the central characters, with a few on the periphery who got on and did their own thing.
That first year book in which you said where you would be and what you would be doing in ten years, then twenty years later what you are really doing. Soon emails and notes start to appear in the same format, but they are more sinister and disturbing. Who knows all this information?
Most of the characterisations are very believable, teens can be very cruel and without the benefit of hindsight.
The book tells the story from the perspective of the different characters and while it starts out well does drag a little in the middle. The action ramps up towards the end and the conclusion is well done.
Overall a worthwhile read.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
