This was a great book! I loved the concept of someone throwing a dinner party and realizing you're inviting very famous people over, so you have to figure out how to have the absolute best one. I liked the family complications that were covered and how clearly the author knows that you can hold some part of you back from your family.
I do wish that we'd kept with just a few characters POV in the story instead of jumping through many of them. At the beginning it seemed like we'd only get two, but the as it carried on we kept finding more and more characters to hear from, and I found that a bit distracting.
