Second Chance - Jane Green

Old teenage friendships are revived after one of the crowd dies in a terrorist bombing, and Holly Mac, Olivia, Paul and Saffron work their way through the immediate aftermath and the longer term mourning of their friend Tom.

Death and the transatlantic angle - their lives have taken them to London, New York and LA - means that there is plenty of opportunity for soul searching, mid life crises, the baby dilemma and reflection on the cults of celebrity and sobriety. It's also a stepping stone towards the next novel Jane Green wrote, The Beach House.
