3.0

I *liked* this, i just didn't *love* it, and for a premise essentially made for me, that speaks volumes! I'm bummed, i really thought I'd be obsessed with this one. I love the premise but turns out the actual supper club is a very small part of the book. I felt like the timeline switching took me out of the story and it confused me in some places. Sometimes, I felt like the book meandered and lost it's way. There are definitely lots of quotes I underlined, but I oftentimes felt somewhat removed from the characters. That being said, the writing about food made me so hungry, so obviously, the prose fit the premise and I really liked that! But like I said, it was a good enjoyable read, but i expected so much more, so in that way, I am kind of let down!
