The Dinner List - Rebecca Serle

Also one of the books reserved with Daisy Jones and all the bunny books. I also picked this one up in the middle of that WWI book I had such a hard time with. I did eventually finish the WWI book. I'm not going to put it on the blog as I won't remember enough to write about it and clearly you can see that it was a bit of a slow book. So we'll just leave that one off of here.

The Dinner List was an interesting read with a few twists. It made me cry. Thank goodness I didn't read this on the bus! I hate crying on the bus. I'm sure people look at you and wonder what's going on. I'm just reading a sad book! No need to stare at me!

This book starts with Sabrina arriving at a restaurant for her 30th birthday dinner with her best friend Jessica, a tradition they started years ago. But when she gets there, she finds five other people waiting for her. The other guests are Robert, her father, Professor Conrad, her old philosophy professor, Audrey Hepburn, and her ex-boyfriend Tobias. When she sees Audrey Hepburn, she knows something is up. Audrey Hepburn is dead. It turns out that in college Jessica asked Sabrina that old question if you could choose any five people, dead or alive, to have dinner with, who would they be. Somehow Sabrina gets to have dinner with the people on her list.

The chapters alternate between the actual dinner party and the love story of Sabrina and Tobias. There were times when I just wanted to hear the love story instead of the dinner party and there were times when I just wanted to stay at the dinner party. And again I did a bit of flipping forward, so there were some slow times for me. I did get annoyed sometimes at Sabrina and her immaturity, and sometimes Tobias really bothered me. But there were some good twists, and some really sad parts that made me cry. I would recommend giving this book a try.
