Cath is starting over in a place where she had happy holidays as a young person and later with her family. Now she is recovering from her husband's betrayal and the fact that her only son is making his way in life. At first, moving to rural Northumberland seems impulsive. Cath feels her loneliness acutely, but the village she has relocated to is nurturing, and soon she has a group of new friends who bond over food and conversation. I loved the warmth of this story, which is about starting over, new friendships and the chance of romance. The characters are complex and relatable, and Cath's new life is believable too. There is laughter and tears in this story, and plenty of conflict too. It's the friendship that develops and the gentle romance that makes this such a satisfying read.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

Thank you Caroline for another wonderful book. Cathy has recently moved into a cottage in Northumberland from Leeds following the breakdown of her marriage and she has fond memories of the area as she used to visit there with family when she was younger. Cath decides to start a supper club to make new friends and finds herself getting to know new people in the area including the owners of the local shop Dan and Andreas and Nikki along with Will who Cathy feels is familiar to her but she is unsure why. All is revealed throughout the book and I found both the storyline and characters were very good. I could certainly relate to Cath when her Son returns from travelling overseas and she finds her cosy cottage full of dirty washing and crockery everywhere! Meant to add I also loved the recipes at the end and already made the lemon posset which was delicious.

A cracker of a good read. I became involved with the characters and how the storyline evolved. A book I didn’t want to put down and didn’t want to end. This was a story of new beginnings and new friendships with the added bonus of a major storyline twist I didn’t see coming.
Loved it and would highly Recommend
Thank you to Netgalley, HQ , and Caroline Roberts for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review

I absolutely love this author and her style of writing. This book had me hooked from the start and made all the more special due to it being set in one of my favourite places on earth, Northumberland. Fabulous characters, beautiful friendships and a thoroughly enjoyable story. Thank you so much to netgalley and publishers for allowing me to read a copy of this book for my review.

A stunning read that had me hooked from the very first page to the last. A story of new beginnings and new friendships as well as a re-kindled relationship. Highly recommend.

The Second Chance Supper Club by Caroline Roberts is a charming and heartwarming read that celebrates food, friendships, and finding joy after life's setbacks. Set against a backdrop of gorgeous scenic descriptions as well as many delicious dishes, the story brings together relatable characters whose personal journeys tug gently at the heart. I love how this group of characters instantly formed bonds and created the supper clubs. While the pacing occasionally lingers, the warmth and emotional depth make it a satisfying escape. Perfect for fans of feel-good fiction with a generous dash of foodie flair! As always Caroline has given us a community of people we care about and become invested in. Highly recommend.

A new novel about second chances written with personal touch and involving hilarious situations. It’s important to understand when it’s time to get your own life back into your own hands.

What a lovely, lovely book. It was such a pleasure to read this one. I loved all the characters except the two timing husband who didn't deserve a wife life he had. But, everyone else was lovely. I do enjoy these books and look forward to more in the future. My thanks to netgalley and the publisher's for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

I loved this book, thought it was fantastic.

Cath has moved house after a relationship breakup to where she used to stay as a child on holidays

She meets Andreas, Dan, Nikki and Will and they get talking. Then the supper club is created. One person each week creates a meal for them all to eat together and have the companionship of eating with each other.

Cath and Will have history together as children but they don’t recognise each other straight away and when Will discovers the reason for why cath wasn’t in touch. She needs to work out how they will get back to how they were before. The rest of the club notice that they aren’t the same with each other and make them have supper club on their own.

Will it have the desired effect or not?

Caroline is a great author whose book I always enjoy. This was one that had me hooked from the very first page to the last. A story of new beginnings and new friendships as well as a re-kindled relationship. Highly recommend.

It’s been ages since I’ve got lost in a Caroline Roberts book. This was some delicious reading. What an inspiring story about self discovery, friendship, community, family and love. Cath is such an inspirational characters, having to start over after a divorce, she not only has to navigate being single, but also the loss of her beloved job and early retirement plans. Cath chooses to do this by going back to a place she has happy childhood memories. Northumberland. What a stunning place, close to my heart also and the descriptions are simply beautiful.

I liked the way we saw Cath navigating a new home and making friends, but also her loneliness, an issue so often ignored, Cath needs friends, connections, to feel useful. I love her budding friendships and it’s so touching how much she steps in to help with the shop when needed. The extra twist about a past relationship and the tale attached to it (I don’t want to give away spoilers) was very touching and heart wrenching, so beautifully written.

I can’t wait for the next book in the series, some of the meals created for the supper club really got my mouth watering, I can’t wait for a festive menu.

First of thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this beautiful book. It is a cosy, romantic read. It follows a woman in her 50’s, starting again in a new town, new home and trying to establish a new life on her own after the breakdown of her marriage of 30 years. Cath is a resilient woman, looking to find herself in a village she visited as a young person and later with her own family. Creating friendships along the way, whilst dealing with her feelings about loneliness and change. A lovely read for anyone wanting a feel good romance.

I’ve been waiting for ages for a new one from Caroline I simply adore her and yet again she does not disappoint! I was hooked with this one. The characters were all so loveable (minus Trevor the husband). Caroline writes with such descriptive, engaging language and set the scene perfectly.

I loved Caths character development and the joy she found within her community. It truly was a friendship story- I want to be part of her friendship group! It was well paced and before I knew it i was halfway through. There is a twist too in the book which I did not guess at all.

I am absolutely delighted to see another book following on from this one- Christmas as the Second Chance Club is out in October. I need to get back to these characters who feel like my friends! Get ready to be swept away in wholesome community, friendships and a budding romance.

A heartwarming story of hope, second chances and starting over. A sublime read!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of this

Two estranged sisters reunite in an emotional novel of family, forgiveness, lost hope, and new beginnings.
They had a forever bond, until a sudden tragedy thrust them apart. Now, each at a crossroad in her own life, two sisters’ paths are about to intersect.
Broadcast journalist Julia Frank has it a career, an ambitious fiancé and the hard won respect of her peers. Until a ruinous decision destroys her reputation, puts her job at risk, and sends her reeling toward the only soul left to turn her estranged sister, Ginny. The owner of a clandestine supper club hidden in the Arizona desert, Ginny Frank has a lot on her plate. The last thing she wants is more drama or the burden of nursing her younger sister’s wounded ego. But family is family. Besides, Ginny can use the help in more ways than one, and she’s going to make sure Julia pulls her weight. As a tenuous reunion reopens old wounds, Julia and Ginny have no choice but to confront the pain and betrayals of the past. Will working to keep the secret supper club running be just what they need to find common ground and a path toward forgiveness, or will the increasing stress push them even further apart?

Brilliant cosy read. Cath has moved recently to the village and knows no one. She finds herself renovating her garden shed and the supper club is born.
Loved the characters and the well written storyline from Shirley the dog to the people joining the club.
Fantastic

A nice comfort read set in the beautiful Northumberland countryside. A story about starting over and making new friends and enjoying the small things in life.

It’s been a long time since Caroline had any books out and I have eagerly awaited this one.
I loved being back in Northumberland with a whole new gang of characters.
I loved the descriptions of an area I know.
Hopefully we’ll not wait so long for the next one.
Thank you NetGalley for an arc of this lovely book x

Cath feels like her life is over after breaking up with her husband, selling their house and moving to a 2 bed cottage to start a new life alone. However she soon starts to make a new life for herself with some fab new friends and they decide to start a supper club.
I loved seeing how Cath grew as she became more settled and made new friends. I really liked her as a character as I felt she showed her weaknesses as she felt tied to her ex husband and wanting to help her son. However she was strong willed and forged a new life for herself realising that the past is in the past.
I enjoyed reading what meals were being served in the supper club and it was great to have the recipes at the end of the book.
The ending was excellent and I loved the unexpected twist towards the end of the book which I didn’t see coming.
A brilliant heartwarming 5 star read I would definitely recommend and I’m hoping for a sequel to see what happens next.
Thanks to NetGalley, Caroline Roberts and HQ for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I loved the Second Chance Summer club. I spent a few hours reading it and couldn’t put it down! I loved the sense of community and how sometimes when bad things happen we tend to distance ourselves and it’s important not to lose connection and share our thoughts and feelings with others
