"Waiting On" Wednesday: The Last Time I Saw You

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:

The Last Time I Saw You
By Elizabeth Berg
Publication Date: April 6

From Amazon:

From the beloved bestselling author of Home Safe and The Year of Pleasures, comes a wonderful new novel about women and men reconnecting with one another—and themselves—at their fortieth high school reunion.

To each of the men and women, this reunion means something different—a last opportunity to say something long left unsaid, an escape from the bleaker realities of everyday life, a means to save a marriage on the rocks, or an opportunity to bond with a slightly estranged daughter, if only over what her mother should wear. As the onetime classmates meet up over the course of a weekend, they discover things that will irrevocably affect the rest of their lives.

In this beautiful novel, Elizabeth Berg deftly weaves together stories of roads taken and not taken, choices made and opportunities missed, and the possibilities of second chances.

What's your "waiting on" pick this week?

    I'm a fan of Berg and she always comes to the Indie bookstore near me (which is where I'll buy the book *smile*). Glad I don't have to wait very long!

    This books sounds right up my alley. I went to my 40th HS reunion and met up with an old boyfriend. We were able to clear the air on a few subjects and finally make peace. I want this book!
