Overall I must say that I did enjoy this story, despite sometimes wanting to just be through with it. I think it has a really interesting concept and the idea of a Supper Club was fun. However, at times it felt as if the story went off into a tangent that felt ... repetitive. I found myself wondering just how much time the author was going to spend talking about a shitty past relationship instead of choosing to focus more on the main character's, Roberta's, present. Roberta had the potential to be an even more interesting character, but I think the lack of Supper Club meetings really took that chance away.
I wish that the paragraphs describing food where instead recipes of the food that Supper Club so that the reader had the chance to also join in a way. I also found myself waiting for more meetings of the Supper Club and was underwhelmed. I will say that I did enjoy reading about the individual members of the club and wish that we got to learn more about them. Perhaps this book would have benefited more from not being from just the perspective of Roberta.
