Publisher's summary

From the USA Today bestselling author of The Wedding Game comes a new romantic comedy about the antics that ensue when three siblings come together for their parents’ fiftieth-anniversary party.

Martin and Peggy Chance believe love should last a lifetime. With their fiftieth wedding anniversary on the horizon, they’ve modeled a beautiful relationship for their three grown children. But to their dismay, that lesson hasn’t quite caught on—the three siblings just can’t seem to take a chance and find love in their own lives.

There’s Ford, the eldest, devoted to his work and resistant to romance...or so he claims. Cooper, the middle child, can’t get past his divorce—until he reconnects with a feisty baker from his past. And Palmer, the baby of the family, is the free-spirited world traveler who always pictured herself with someone other than a handsome small-town family doctor.

When the Chance siblings come together to plan the ultimate anniversary party for their parents, they’ll have to navigate romantic entanglements, sibling rivalries, and the definitive end of their childhood. Whatever happens, The Reunion promises to be a fun, flirty, wild ride.

Cooper’s voice ughhh

Loved the story but Cooper’s voice was not great and mostly grated on my nerves 😫

Laugh out loud hilarious

Admittedly the six POV narrators took a little getting used to, but I really came to enjoy the experience and the performances. I would have liked the book had I read it, but I absolutely love it after listening. The whole book is great with so many parts that I literally laughed out loud and couldn’t wait to tell my husband.

Okay story

Luckily this was a read and listen book. I found myself reading some of it. The Cooper narrator was so distracting that it was really hard to listen to. I had to speed his part up faster than the others to make it tolerable.

Funny and poignant! But poor reader!

I thought this story was sweet on many different levels...the sibling rivalry, the budding romances and the relationship with aging parents. There were moments where I laughed out loud and others where I felt badly for each of the siblings. The back and forth banter between them was hilarious
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE....
I could NOT get past the voice of Cooper. Why did they choose this individual to read for this story.? I almost gave up on the book because of it. Cooper sounds like a stereotypical dumb jock type and the character wasn't even close to that! And when "Cooper" read a female reply? It only got worse. A disservice to the story itself.

Good story line and nice family story.

The narration was very good. The story was well thought out and the plot was well developed. The details were a little too detailed and the language was a little rough. Hey, I'm old and I own that. but for a cozy this one was more than I expected. I promised an honest review and I'm giving my opinion.

Sibling Love ❤️🩺🥾💙

This was fun in that it follows three siblings as they navigate love and life. They all have some sort of life crisis going on, and it all comes to a head as they gather to celebrate their parents anniversary.

There are some seriously funny moments in this book. Meghan has quite the sense of humor. There are also poignant as well as steamy moments as the two brothers and one sister try to repair their broken relationship that started with one bad choice.

I didn’t always like the choices of their significant others. It’s important to stand by someone you love. Especially when life gets hard. But they all eventually work it out.

At times, it was hard to follow three romances at once, but it worked. It was a good and enjoyable listen. Some readers were better than others, but it was still good.

Meghan Quinn Does it again

She nailed the siblings in this heartwarming and heart melting book. The characters were all great and the narrators brought them to life. Loved it.

Fantastic except for Cooper

As other reviews say, this book is great fun; however, Cooper's narrator needs a different job. His female voice sounded like a broken robot and his voice like a 90's infomercial. A shame because his character was so charming.

Entertaining

Easy to listen to. I was nervous about keeping track of the multiple narrators, but the voice are distinct enough to not have any confusion.

COOPER NARRATION ALMOST RUINED AN AMAZING STORY!!!

I almost quit the book several times because of the horrible, robotic, and monotone narration by Cooper aka Stephen Borne!!!!!! At the end of the day I'm so glad I didn't tho! Meghan did it again providing yet another witty, refreshing, familial, romantic, and funny novel! Yes, I cringed everytime Coopers chapter came up but I powered through it and thoroughly enjoyed the book!
