Gelesen: Rebecca Serle - The Dinner List 🇺🇸

After loving “ in five years” I put a hold down for the dinner list.

Did you ever get this question?

Dead or alive, chose five people you would want to have a dinner with.

Jessica asked Sabrina to make this list  once, and magically, the evening of Jessica’s 30th birthday, that dinner happens.

At the table:

Her best friend and former college roommate Jessica

Her boyfriend Tobias,

her estranged dad Robert whom she hasn’t seen since he left when she was little

Conrad, a former college professor of philosophy and

Audrey Hepburn.

In alternating chapters, the story is devided between what is happening in the restaurant and a more or less chronological recount of Sabrinas life since college, focusing mostly on her love story with Tobias,  but the big question is, of course: why is this dinner even happening?

The tension at the table naturally runs high, and important questions are asked and old assumptions are up for evaluation  again.

But clearly, Tobias is the love of Sabrinas life, a love story by fate and love at first sight - or isn’t he?

I really liked the book, and it took some really interesting turns, like “in five years”. But it is not as “fun” as it might sound, and I felt like the end left me a little bit hanging.

Good, but not stellar, overall, I liked in five years better.
