    Oh, my heart. This book really snuck up on me.
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018*

Oh, my heart. This book really snuck up on me. It reminded me of a 80s movie, like The Big Chill or The Breakfast Club or IT without the horror parts.They call themselves The Gunners, a group of childhood friends who, in spite of being very different, become bonded at a young age. Years later, when they’re all in their early 30s, they reunite when a member of the group commits suicide.Over the course of this short novel, we come to know each of The Gunners through their weekend together at Sally’s funeral and flashbacks to their childhood. They harbor lifelong secrets, each convinced that they were somehow responsible for driving Sally away years earlier.The story focuses primarily on Mikey—lonely, depressed, and suffering from early onset macular degeneration. He’s the only one of The Gunners (aside from the long-estranged Sally) who has stayed behind in their blue-collar upstate New York town.Kauffman’s writing is simple, yet exquisitely observant and detailed in a way that sort of stuns you with humor and poignancy. The characters are rich and vibrant, their inner lives and internal struggles relatable and meaningful.I really loved this novel, and feel genuinely touched by its beauty and sincerity.

    Heartbreakingly sweet!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020*

This novel has been compared to The Big Chill and The Breakfast Club. I totally agree! Friends from grade school come together for the funeral of Sally, one of their "members" who went off the grid years ago and no one really knows why. But of course when they begin sharing their stories, things clarify as secrets are revealed and relationships are questioned and solidified. Told in past and present narratives the novel slowly and carefully examines their friendships, their weaknesses, and ultimately, their strengths and love for each other. This is one of those books that's both heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time! Yes, a little bit of ugly crying at the end, but those of us who've lived through a range of emotions/relationships/hardships/friendships...will appreciate this novel for sure!

Contrived and trite.  Very disappointing
