A dramatic story following a wide cast of characters presented using the POVs of several unique women!

I listen to audiobooks whenever I can at work. It’s not nearly as often as I used to be able to, so I always really value an audiobook that instantly captures my attention and doesn’t make me feel regret at choosing it. This most assuredly fit those criteria! Within the first few moments, Lucy had me wanting to know more about her life and her heart behind the supper clubs. All the individuals are varying degrees of flawed, and, honestly, it was really (REALLY) hard to like some of them. In spite of that, I was truly invested in all of their stories and was eager to see where they’d end up. There was just enough humor, a whole lot of heart, and more drama than some reality TV.

I will say this was ever so slightly different from what I expected. I’m not sure if I just misread the blurb, but I thought the suppers would be the primary setting for the novel. While the suppers were a feature, significantly more time was spent in the moments between the gatherings. This was not a massive problem as I was very interested in the lives of the group, but it did take me by surprise.

All-in-all, this was a very solid 3-star read for me. It’s not one that I’ll likely read again, but I am interesting in reading more Sophie King in the future!

Thank you to NetGalley, Sophie King, and Bonnier UK Audio for allowing me the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review!

I enjoyed this. A fun easy listen with excellent narration. The idea of a travelling supper club is hellish to me. It was also pretty hellish for the attendees of each supper, tied into each though, are family dramas, lost loves, affairs, betrayals, lies and everything else life throws up.

I note on here that there are reviews here as far back as 13 years ago. I can only assume the book is having a relaunch, it perhaps a follow up is due?! Keen to find out.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bonnier Audio U.K. for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook in return for an honest review.
