Supper Club is both frustrating and fascinating.  I loved the character driven story line and I loved that in the end, the character chooses to follow an untraditional path.

This book is now one of my favourites. I'm sad that I got it from the library and now have to return it and buy my own copy. It reminds me of Bunny by Mona Awad in the way it's written. The content is not very similar other than that it's all about women and relationships between women and taking control of our lives. 
Made me hungry with all of the food talk! I was reading it in the middle of the night and one character was eating pancakes, so I got up and made pancakes at 3am. It was lovely.
I hope I can get my hands on everything else Lara Williams has written and read them soon.

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.
