Clutch - Emily Nemens
As undergrads, Gregg, Reba, Hillary, Bella, and Carson formed the kind of rare bond that university brochures promise - friendship that lasts a lifetime. Two decades later, the women are spread across the country but remain firmly linked through their ever-active group chat.
They've made it through COVID and childbirth and midcareer challenges, but no one can anticipate what's coming next.The five women converge on Palm Springs for a long overdue reunion: Gregg, a progressive Texas legislator, is facing a huge decision about her political future. Reba is deep in IVF treatments while caring for her aging parents and navigating a San Francisco she hardly recognizes. Hillary's medical career is going great - but at home, her husband's struggles with addiction have derailed their life.
In New York City, Bella faces the biggest case in her career as a litigator while her home life crumbles around her, and across the river in Brooklyn, Carson is working on a new novel as well as forging a possible relationship with the father she's never met.
Twenty years into their shared friendship, the stakes are higher than ever.
