The Last Time I Saw You by Elizabeth Berg

There are books that make you think, and then there are books that are just light and fun to read. Elizabeth Berg's books fall into the second category. I like to read her books after I've read something that might be a tad dark or depressing. So this was the perfect thing to pick up after finishing Cutting for Stone. And it's a very quick read. This story is about a group of individuals preparing for their 40th high school reunion. Over half of the book is spent presenting the characters and their angst over this reunion. The rest of the book is the actual reunion itself and how it doesn't necessarily play out the way the characters had planned. But as always, Berg's characters end up wiser and happier than they were at the beginning. A fun, quick, easy, mindless read. -June
