Absolutely loved this. The characters were so rich, and beautifully weaved in what was happening during the 1950s. I totally got sucked into wanting to know what was going to happen in their stories and experiences. The way the writing style varied and sort of fit each of the women too and morphed just a bit was perfect. The concept of friendship and connections changing us for the better was just so well done, and really loved the whole supper club recipes with music nuances. And of course, the backdrop of a murder mystery was fantastic.
