Supper Club by Lara Williams

4.0

A young woman with a lack of direction in life but a great passion for cooking. Her wild, unpredictable artist best friend. The dire need not only to take part in something bigger, but to take control of one's life. Mix these well, combine, cook in your head and your heart forever. "Supper Club" touches on the eternal post-grad struggle of how to be your own person. When Roberta feels like her ability to live her own fun, carefree, fulfilling life has been stolen away--by work, by assailants, by exes, by the rest of the world--she starts, with her best friend Stevie, the Supper Club. The club is an event all about reclaiming women's space, women's bodies, and women's voices from the expectation of others. Tactfully and honestly tackling subjects like sexual violence, emotional abuse, patriarchy, the treatment of fat women, and the treatment of women who do not conform to femininity, this book was a tasty treat from start to finish.
