The Last Time I Saw You features an array of characters, all preparing for their fortieth high school reunion. Some are hoping to reconnect with old crushes, some have something to prove, and one just wants his wife back. I had some trouble keeping all the characters straight and found myself flipping back to earlier chapters to remember who was who.
This was an enjoyable read, but it felt very lightweight, despite many characters wrestling with very real and serious issues. Because it dealt with so many characters (and it's only about 240 pages), I didn't even have time to make up my mind about who I liked and was rooting for. I liked it, but I won't remember it a month from now.
