This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to Bookouture for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I read The Reunion by Samantha a few months ago and really enjoyed it so I decided to take part in this tour too.

I have to start by saying I didn't like Lorna for the majority of the book. She was selfish, stupid and ungrateful. I really struggled to identify with her. Yet I felt compelled to continue with the story. I wanted to see how her life was going to unravel.

There were also chapters which were told from another characters POV. Her name was Nikki. If you have read some of my reviews before you will know I like alternating POV so I enjoyed this aspect. I also preferred Nikki as a character. I enjoyed reading her chapters a lot more than Lorna's.

Samantha weaved such an incredible twist that there was absolutely no way to see it coming. It was fantastic. Dramatic and jaw dropping. It really saved the story for me as I found Lorna's such a difficult character to gel with.

Samantha's writing has a way of making you want to see the ending. It's like a compulsion. Even though you can't stand the main character you absolutely need to know the end of the story. It's very clever and skilled.
