‘Supper Club’ with story and art by Jackie Morrow is a graphic novel about good friends about to graduate and go separate ways.

Nora, Lili, and Iris are in their final year of high school with increasingly different lives and pressures. They start a supper club for an extracurricular activity and it acts as a connection point for the friends. But life and pressure increasingly stresses individuals and friendships.

There was a point near the end where this book won me over. Before that point, I felt it was a pretty mediocre effort. It finishes well, so my advice is to stick with it.

I was really excited to read this but it was not what I was hoping for. Far less of a focus on the food than you might expect, and the art was not as detailed as the cover implied (not bad, just different). I was intrigued by the individual plot lines introduced for each character, but they never really felt resolved at all, just wrapped up quickly to finish the book. If this book were longer with some more fleshed out character development I think I would have been really into it, particularly if there was more info on family recipes, food related memories, etc. It was a quick read, and having recipes included at the end of the book was a nice detail.

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 ♥️
