REVIEW
This was a bookclub book and one that everyone enjoyed. It's is a light hearted read with a touch of humour as well as a serious story. Eve agrees to do a favour for her boyfriend Joe, a freelance reporter. She agrees to take part in the Saturday Supper Club Dinner, giving her just 24 hours to cook a 3 course meal for people she doesn't know. She agrees to do it as it will be free publicity for her new cafe which is opening in 8 weeks as well as winning the cash prize but more important she doesn't want to let her boyfriend Joe down by saying she doesn't really want to do it. Eve is left shocked though as one of the guests is her ex boyfriend Ethan. Eve's world is just about to fall apart. Will life ever be the same?
I have to say though the ending caused a mixed review with everyone at bookclub, some thinking the ending was a nice resolved ending but others going what???? The ending I thought myself could of been a little different as not sure myself if I could of forgiven those around me! But still a good read. And best of all I want to thank Amy Bratley for the lovely Lovebird Chocolate Cake recipe - it is so good!!!
Would recommend for a light read and for the recipe!
