A Wedding in December by Anita Shreve

A group of high school friends are reunited after 27 years as two members of the group, high school sweethearts who were separated, find each other and get married. Each of the classmates has secrets to share or not share, and the reunion sparks memories of their classmate who died during a beach party. The book contains a story within a story as one of the characters fancies herself an author, and she writes her book over the course of the wedding weekend. I found this to be an intriguing way to carry on a parallel story. When I think back on the book, I see how the two stories are intertwined.
