As their 25th high school reunion approaches, four best friends from the Class of 1997 look back at their past hopes and dreams and look ahead to what changes they might make to live up to their "most likely to" superlatives. Melissa Levin is divorced with one daughter. Ex-husband Josh, her high school sweetheart, has a new and younger wife. Tara Taylor has been unable to achieve her dream of becoming a star chef because of a horrible event that ruined her reputation. Priya Chowdhury is a doctor who has had to deal with all that comes with being a successful woman of color, juggling a career and family. And Suki Hammer appears to be the woman who has it all. But looks can be deceiving.
Not only Gen Xers and Millennials will appreciate the 1990s nostalgic references. Author Elyssa Friedland has created an enjoyable story that anyone should be able to relate to as who doesn't look back at their high school years with mixed emotions? The Most Likely Club is lighthearted and witty yet also deals with some serious issues. It shows that life is a journey and we all can get a chance for a second act, especially if we have good friends to support us.
