The way we were...the way we are now...Emily, Chris, Daphne, and Annabel. They left college with their hearts full of radiant hope, their heads full of impossible dreams. They married "perfect" men, expected to have "perfect" children, found exciting jobs and glamorous careers. Yet heartbreak lay hidden behind the illusions of perfection. Life would force them to confront the mistakes of the past and the betrayals of the present...to create powerful new visions...to meet the irresistible challenge of the way we are now.
I read the Reunion and After the Reunion back to back and I absolutely loved both of them. After the reunion catches you up with the girls after college. It carries you through their lives and marriages in a decidedly straightforward way, with attention to detail. Jaffe makes sure that you understand the characters with all of their nuances, and intricate personalities. I loved it and it is one of those books along with The Reunion that I would read again
