The Reunion
by Kit Frick
Pub Date: August 29, 2023 (Simon Teen)
Genre: YA Mystery/Thriller, Contemporary
It’s been years since the fragmented Mayweather clan was all in one place, but the engagement of Addison and Mason’s mom to the dad of their future stepbrother, Theo, brings the whole family to sunny Cancún, Mexico, for winter break. Add cousin Natalia to the mix, and it doesn’t take long for tempers to fray and tensions to rise. A week of forced family “fun” reveals that everyone has something to hide, and as secrets bubble to the surface, no one is safe from the fallout. By the end of the week, one member of the reunion party will be dead—and everyone’s a suspect:
The peacekeeper: Addison needs a better hiding place.
The outsider: Theo just wants to mend fences.
The romantic: Natalia doesn’t want to talk about the past.The hothead: Mason needs to keep his temper under control.
It started as a week in paradise meant to bring them together. But the Mayweathers are about to learn the hard way that family bonding can be deadly.

Told from multiple perspectives (of twins Addison & Mason, their cousin Natalia, and the twins’ soon to be stepbrother, Theo), The Reunion was a drama-fueled mystery that made me never want to attend a family reunion ever again. Talk about a dysfunctional family! The Mayweathers definitely needed some intensive family therapy.
A lot happened in this story and it was sometimes hard to keep up with everything going on with the characters. There was plenty of family drama and sooo many secrets. I loved the mystery and I was surprised by the ending.
I had a lot of fun reading this story. You should definitely read this book if you love YA murder mysteries. The Reunion was an immersive page-turner and I look forward to reading more from Kit Frick.
