The Last Time I Saw You by Elizabeth Berg

Elizabeth Berg seems to write one book a year. I wish it were once a month - but then the books might not be as outstanding as they are! You can answer a few questions to see if this book is right for you! Do you know what a circle pin is? Would you recognize Bass Weejuns? If I say "Letterman - The Way You Look Tonight" - can you hear it playing in your mind? If you answer yes to these questions, you will really enjoy this book. (Of course others will also enjoy it and might learn a little about the culture of the 60's!).
It's time for a fortieth high school reunion. That means it's time for new diets, hairstyles, up-lifting bras and maybe some valium. This is the story of some of the attendees. If you have ever attended a reunion, you will be able to relate to the characters and the emotions they are dealing with. A wonderful book with believable characters and believable actions at the reunion. We get to know the present-day characters and what they were like when they were cheerleaders, star athletes, nerds, prom queen - well, you get the picture. I loved this book!
