Four highschool friends, now in their mid-thirties, come together for one last beach hurrah after one of them is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Each is struggling in their own way and has hidden those struggles from the others through the slight of hand of distance and time.
Much like the reunion in the book, despite the sad circumstances All Together Now is ultimately sweet, nostalgic, and life-affirming, plus (Imaginary) Taylor Swift makes an appearance.
The plot is entertaining enough and I really enjoy Matthew Norman’s playful yet insightful writing style.
All Together Now would make for an excellent beach/travel read!
