The Cast
The Cast: A Novel | Amy Blumenfeld
5 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Twenty-five years ago, a group of ninth graders produced a Saturday Night Live–style videotape to cheer up their ailing friend. The show’s running time was only ninety minutes, but it had a lasting impact: Becca laughed her way through recovery, and the group—Jordana, Seth, Holly, and Lex—became her supporting cast for life. On the silver anniversary of Becca Night Live, the friends reunite over the Fourth of July to celebrate Becca’s good health—but nothing goes as planned. The happy holiday card facades everyone’s been hiding behind quickly crumble and give way to an unforgettable three days filled with complex moral dilemmas and life-altering choices. Through humor, drama, and the alternating perspectives of five characters, The Cast explores the power of forgiveness, the importance of authenticity, and the immeasurable value of deep, enduring friendships to buoy us when life plays out differently than expected.

I read two of the “Cast the Die“ books for October -- or should I say cast the bones? -- and DNF'd one. I also read 5 other books from the list and DNF'd one.

I received this book in a contest and it was on my to be read pile for a few months. I just finished reading it and really liked it. This was the author's debut novel and I look forward to reading more of her books. I highly recommend it.

This is a story about a group of friends who gather together to celebrate the anniversary of one of them who beat cancer years ago. It reminded me of good old fashioned stories about friendship without any frills or fan fare. Instinctively I pictured the cast of A Million Little Things while I read this, which by the way, if you like that show, you might want to try out this novel. I still want to wring Nolan‘s neck, but overall it was enjoyable.

I never even heard of this book until about a week ago, but I‘m a sucker for a well written story that follows multiple characters over the course of many years. We shall soon see how this one fares.
