I thought this was good but it wasn't really the book I was expecting. I think I'd focused on the reviews which called this joyful and funny, which it is at times, but the main character does spend a lot of the book depressed and anxious, dealing with trauma and loneliness. It meant her headspace was sometimes a hard place to spend time. The story was interesting though and it reminded me of Animals by Emma Jane Unsworth and Conversations With Friends by Sally Rooney in the way it deals with dysfunctional female friendship and women behaving recklessly. I think ultimately I was more intrigued by the premise than the actual book but I liked Williams' writing so I'll look out for more of her work.

In the vein of My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Supper Club explores lost women in their twenties. The book is well paced and well-written although I felt I'd read similar stories before.
