This is the last one of the series.
Again we already know one of the main characters, Charlie. She is Sam’s best friend. She had a well known shitty childhood (that’s a technical term) with crappy parents which has left her with many insecurities but also a trust fund and a mansion. Wealth does not automatically make people good parents.
Charlie wants to borrow the very pregnant Anna as her date for a school reunion. There is to be a high school band reunion. Charlie had changed her name since leaving school and had been a world renowned musician. And her old school girlfriend is now a mega pop star. They split up after an incident that Charlie was blamed for and they have not seen each other since.
Not only is there tension and anxiety about the reunion but they then embark on a getting to know you exercise and are eventually happily reunited.
However, this book also has additional tension with threats being made about Emilie. It is obvious that there must be someone close to Emilie involved with this due to nature and placing of the
threats.
This is not helped by Spud (the dog) dropping a stick at Charlie’s feet – that is her signal that there is a bear nearby!
There are bears, violence, threatening notes, assault and an attempt to mow Charlie down in a car.
This is eventually traced back to a stalker of Emilie’s, which feels a little unfair as she was a throwaway comment earlier in the story and thought to be still in prison. However she has help from one of Emilie’s close circle.
But which one is it? You should read it for yourself and find out.
Epilogue – this is tying up all the loose ends so quite acceptable.
Anna is pregnant again!
Kim and Helen are married
Charlie proposes on stage to Emilie with Spud the dog carrying the ring on in a little basket
