wordsofclover 's review for:
The Supper Club
by Sophie King
I think I'l give this novel 2.5 stars. First of, I think the blurb on the back of the book isn't great, a better one could have been written. This book centers around a group of people, who all start to get to know another a little better through a series of dinners at each others houses. However, I found the dinners were not the real focus of this story, you would think a lot would happen within these dinners but to be honest, nothing really does. Most happens away from the group and 'The Supper Club' giving the book title a little less significance.
The only character that I genuinely liked was Lucy. Everyone else was flawed, (naturally, everyone is human) but I have read other books with similarly flawed characters who are much more likable. Maggie, who has been left by her husband, I should have felt sorry for her but instead I grew a intense dislike, not for love of Patsy cause she was a pain too but Maggie became like a prowling, soul sucking shadow, always making a fuss whenever she would appear and acting as though her marriage had been perfect before Patsy even though we find out it hasn't and they would have broke up anyway.
Chrissie is a moan and needs to get over this awful thing that ruined her left. If you ask me anabortion is not life-ruining...and she clearly got on ok, getting a good job, settling down and having a baby.
The book is good at sucking you into the story and the shortness of the chapters makes it easy to fly through.
