Thanks NetGalley and Image Comics for this arc!
4.5/5 stars
I really really enjoyed this graphic novel, which really encompassed how joyful, bittersweet, and difficult your last year of high school can be. The art was so colourful and fun, and the characters were really well rounded. I feel like some panels left me a little confused, like they should've been better explained or just fleshed out a bit more, but not overly much. Some parts felt a little rushed, I would've liked more closure or explanations with some parts, but overall great graphic novel. The few recipes at the end were a cute bonus, too!

I ADORED this. I come to this book with a lot of similar experiences. My two best friend’s from high school and myself have crazy busy schedules and we make a point of trying to see each other once every other week or so and have really embraced cooking together and catching up. This made me think of them a lot and just gave me the warm and fuzzies ♥️

Three girls start Supper Club to spend their last year together at highschool and to share amazing dishes. We explore friendships, personal struggles, crushes, mental health, and more. I loved the diverse cast of characters and the mouth watering food 🤤 Though I wanted more, this coming of age graphic novel was still cozy and comforting!
Thanks NetGalley and Image Comics for my copy!

Supper Club is a book that grabbed my attention right from seeing the delicious-looking cover.
This is a high school coming-of-age story, with all the dramas that may entail. And the titular supper club serves as the one thing our main characters all have in common and can all come together for among the chaos of the final school year...until even that starts to become difficult for some of them.
I must admit, from the cover art and the description, I expected more of a focus on the supper club gatherings themselves, especially with the first night being given to us in so much detail. But as the story progressed, the food shifted more to the background as the teens' problems came to the forefront.
On that note, while I wasn't a fan of Nora, it was good to see some mental health rep with her panic attacks. However, I think she (and the others to a degree) were downright awful to Iris, who is going through a terrible time with her hospitalised dad.
Lily's story was also slightly disappointing, in that we see her being the first in the group navigating things with a potential love interest, but there's no real resolution to anything that happens, so we're left not knowing if that goes anywhere.
Overall this was a fairly simple read, and though the art style isn't quite what I'd expected based on the cover, it still works well enough. And I was glad to see a handful of the featured recipes included in the back of the book!
Thank you to Netgalley, Image Comics and Jackie Morrow for sending me a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was cute but it felt a little underbaked plot-wise. I also thought the large double-page panels in some places were hard to follow, but they didn’t happen very frequently so that wasn’t a major detractor or anything. All in all, cute but didn’t live up to my expectations for it.
