This sweet story is about three friends heading into their senior year of high school. Nora, Lili, and Iris are besties who just want to spend more time together, even though none of their classes or extracurriculars line up. They create a supper club where everyone brings in a food dish that makes them happy. Despite drama within the friend group, at home, and with trying to figure themselves out before they leave for college, they have to be reminded of the importance of their bond. The art is awesome and fun and lively. But with the character development and the lack of resolved storylines, I was left wanting more. The three friends were introduced and we are shown the challenges they face, but I wanted more of them revealing their characters. I wanted an ending that tied up the storylines. I also wanted to the food to be more central, have a direct tie to the stories instead of just being chapter art.
