Il libro offre una premessa accattivante, uno stile di scrittura scorrevole e alla mano che aiuta ad avvicinarsi immediatamente ai pensieri della protagonista e un’ampia rosa di interessanti personaggi secondari. Sperro, però, l’intreccio che nasce da questi fattori non soddisfa completamente le aspettative, a mio parere. Il Supper Club stesso è forse l’elemento che ne soffre di più, lasciando invece spazio a sottotrame a  parecchio cliché; un vero peccato, perché l’autrice dà il suo meglio nel racconto di ciò che accade durante le serate di follia delle donne coinvolte e nelle descrizioni viscerali del cibo che mangiano.

Un libro che promette molto, quindi, ma lascia un certo appetito non del tutto soddisfatto.
(non ho putroppo nemmeno amato molto lo stile di questa traduzione, mi è sembrata poco scorrevole)

Loved the beginning but it git a little slow at the end. ADORED the recipes at the start of the chapters and the structure in general.
Ps. It gets pretty heavy during some passages so check the tws.

l'inizio e la fine sono le parti migliori, ovviamente le parti in cui parla più di arnold e adnan sono le più pallose ma non avevo dubbi. ho segnato un sacco di citazioni e sono molto contenta di aver letto questo libro ♡ inizierò a prendere più spazio senza chiedere scusa
