I recently finished reading *Reunion* by Matthew Coley, and it was an engaging and thought-provoking experience. The book delves into the life of Chris and his family, capturing the nuances of their daily routines, relationships, and the unexpected events that shape their lives.

From the outset, I was drawn into the family’s dynamic. The opening chapter, “All in the Family,” sets the stage with a relatable morning scene that subtly introduces the characters and their personalities. Chris, the young protagonist, is endearing with his innocent actions and his interactions with his parents, Steve and Sally. Their love and camaraderie shine through even in the simplest moments, such as shaving together or sharing breakfast.
