TABLE FOR SEVEN by Whitney Gaskell is about a group of
friends who,
on New Years Eve, decide to start a monthly dinner club.
The story takes
place over one year and the beginning of each chapter lists
the menu for
the club meal. Fran and Will Parrish are hosting the meal
where they
decide to make it a monthly dinner party. There are two
couples and three
single friends who make up the club. Fran and Will have
been married for
just under twenty years and have two kids. The second
couple is Jaime
and Mark. Jaime is Mark's second wife and they have three
children. Emily
is Mark's daughter from his first marriage to Libby. The
singles are Audrey,
Cooper, and Leland.
Fran and Will are having problems. She isn't happy and
feels neglected.
Jaime and Mark have had many a fight over Emily and how much
say so
Libby has in their lives. Emily is obsessed with tennis and
Mark is too. It is
taking over their lives and Jaime takes notice that Mark
spends so much
more time with Emily than he does with his other two kids.
Leland is a
retired judge and likes to give advice to his friends at
their monthly dinners.
Audrey is recently widowed and not looking to complicate her
life with a
man. That is until she meets Cooper. She thinks Coop is
full of himself and
a womanizer. Now things are going to get really interesting
for these two
but I'm not telling you what happens. You have to read TABLE
FOR
SEVEN yourself to find out.
I really loved TABLE FOR SEVEN. IT was a quick read and
flowed
perfectly. I was never confused by all the different
characters as everyone
had different things going on in their lives. All the
characters really come
together and you can't help but getting caught up in their
lives. TABLE
FOR SEVEN made me hungry and I loved the menu ideas Whitney
gave
me while reading. The only thing missing were the recipes.
If you are like
me you will laugh and you will cry while reading TABLE FOR
SEVEN.
A warm and witty novel about friendship, fine dining, and
learning that life doesn’t always turn out quite how we
expect it to—perfect for fans of Barbara O’Neal and Nancy
Thayer
On New Year’s Eve, Fran and Will Parrish host a dinner
party, serving their friends a gourmet feast. The night is
such a success that the group decides to form a monthly
dinner party club. But what starts as an excuse to enjoy the
company of fellow foodies ends up having lasting
repercussions on each member of the Table for Seven Dinner
Party Club.
Fran and Will face the possibility that their comfortable
marriage may not be as infallible as they once thought.
Audrey has to figure out how to move on and start a new life
after the untimely death of her young husband. Perfectionist
Jaime suspects that her husband, Mark, might be having an
affair. Coop, a flirtatious bachelor who never commits to a
third date, is blindsided when he falls in love for the
first time. Leland, a widower, is a wise counselor and firm
believer that bacon makes everything taste better.
Over the course of a year, against a backdrop of
mouthwatering meals, relationships are forged, marriages are
tested, and the members of the Table for Seven Dinner Party
Club find their lives forever changed.
