Amy Blumenfeld

Twenty-five years after a group of ninth graders produces a Saturday Night Live-style videotape to cheer up their cancer-stricken friend, they reunite to celebrate her good health--but the happy holiday card facades quickly crumble and give way to an unforgettable three days filled with moral dilemmas and life-altering choices.

Initial thoughts: This was an absolute nightmare no one ever compare this to 30 Rock again

Review: This is an absolute hunk of awful garbage that some broke publisher decided to make into a poor excuse for a novel. Now, I know that sounds mean, but hear me out. There is an incredible amount of misogyny in this book, and it's especially egregious when you remember it was written by a woman. Becca's husband is a nightmare of a man and the fact that the narrative attempts to redeem him in any way is reprehensible. All the characters are one-note and objectively bad people, the writing style is so awful it must be a joke, and the romance is about as subtle as being hit with a bus (and about as believable as one of Donald Trump's speeches). I'm convinced that all the glowing reviews of this are just people who really, really like SNL. I want to apologize to Seth Meyers because he does not deserve to have his first name involved in such a bad book.
