The synopsis: Niederhoffer’s nuanced, piercing follow-up to her debut, A Taxonomy of Barnacles (2005), focuses on a group of college friends reuniting for a wedding. Now in their late twenties, all of the friends have paired off together save for Laura Rosen. The bride, Lila Hayes, is Laura’s former roommate and best friend, and the groom, Tom McDevon, is the ex-boyfriend she’s still very much in love with. As the weekend progresses, Niederhoffer gracefully unveils little details about the friends: Laura and Tom had an affair behind Lila’s back after college. Lila’s brother Chip is in love with Laura. Their other six friends are hiding various ambitions and attractions. When the friends, minus Lila who is prepping for her big day, set out on a late-night, drunken trip on a raft and end up losing Tom in a swim back to shore, they pair up and set off to look for him, which leads to some surprising revelations. An involving, tightly woven tale with fascinating characters. --Kristine Huntley

I cannot wait to see Sookie and Joey starring with Seth and Danny! Yes I just mixed four of my favorite TV shows together. The only thing that could make it better would be if Veronica Mars played another of the friends!
