This book may be written more for the Harvard elite than those of us who are not familar with Harvard and its practices. That said it was interesting, loved the writing style with the biographies in between. There is alot of life stress in the book which I assume it to prove that Harvard grads are as troubled as the rest of us, however with trust funds, relationships that appear to be "throw away" and opportunities that do not lend themselves in times of desparation, it is as fictional and far fetched as they get. I waited ont he library list, it was worth it because it didn't matter when i got it. It was good, but certainly not great.

Liked this book a lot. It delves into the lives of the four women from the time they start college at Harvard to their 20 year reunion and how their lives played out. They all fell short in some way and the weekend of the reunion changes the course of all of their lives. The writing was good and held my interest - I wanted to know what was going to happen to them next. Highly recommend it.
