Every summer, four college friends hold a mini reunion. They laugh, reminisce, and commiserate about their soul-sucking jobs. Maybe they should have listened to everyone who warned them to study something "practical".

Then an unexpected windfall arrives - $1 million, to be exact - with the stipulation that they use it to jump-start their new careers. Almost overnight, a professor, a bartender, a copywriter, and an administrative assistant reinvent themselves as a novelist, an event planner, a pastry chef, and a bed-and-breakfast owner. But the changes in their professional roles create unexpected turbulence in their personal lives, and soon the secrets and scandals from their past start to resurface. For anyone who has ever wondered "what if?" this engaging novel provides a sweet, funny look at friendship, romance, and second chances.

Critic reviews

"A touching and humorous look at love, loss, and literature." ( Booklist)

The story was good, but the book had a lot more "fluff" than I care for, and I could do without the excerpts from the book Kate was writing.

more fluff than I'd like
