Reunited
Authors: Hilary Weisman Graham
At the bottom of the screen,
an ominous line of text read: “By clicking continue, you agree that your credit card will be charged and your nonrefundable ticket(s) will be processed.” If she didn’t buy the tickets now, there’d be no other chance.Well,
Alice thought to herself as she clicked the button,
if you guys can get back together for a one-time reunion, why can’t we?Now she just needed to convince her ex–best friends to join her.
ALICE,
SUMMER,
AND
TIERNAN
ARE
EX–
BEST
FRIENDS.
Back in middle school,
the three girls were inseparable. They were obsessed with the band Level3, but when the band broke up, so did their friendship. Alice spent high school with her nose buried in books, Summer ran with the popular crowd, and Tiernan was a wild-child party girl.
Now, just as the girls are about to graduate, Level3 announces a one- time-only reunion concert. Even though it’s two thousand miles away, Alice buys three tickets on impulse—and as it turns out, Summer and Tiernan have their own reasons for wanting to get out of town. But nothing comes easy for this uncomfortable trio. Will their friendship get an encore or is the show really over?

Summary: Alice, Summer, and Tiernan were best friends who broke up at the same time as their favorite band, but four years later, just before they are preparing to go off to college, the girls reluctantly come back together, each with her own motives, for a road trip from Massachusetts to Austin, Texas, for the band’s one-time-only reunion concert.
