In Twenty Years by Allison Winn Scotch is simply about life and how we thought life would be versus what it was. In Twenty Years opens with lives past, of friendship that were strong, yet fragile as secrets intertwined with their connections.  Then we read the present and how those twenty years have changed, and the one incident that unraveled it all.  You may think it's the death of Bea, though true, she was the glue, but her death was not what broke the group, but the incident at the wedding.  However, as Bea is the glue, when friendships ceased, she found a way to unite them, and allow the past to catch up and reveal itself, even after her death. It is only when the truth behind the secrets are revealed, that understanding and finally growth can resolute with each.  Convoluted and complex at times, how In Twenty Years unfold the mystery behind each character's development and the mystery behind the incident that changed everything was refreshingly presented. With flawed characters that reflected the different aspects of humanity and life's relational evolution, it's a story you can't help but continue on, page after page, trying to find solace and hope.  A good story, and one to think about.
