Miss me with that garbage thinking. At one point or another we’ve all been asked to name five people, living or dead with whom we’d like to have dinner.
It was an interesting group of people and I was very excited to dive into everyone’s story and see how everyone’s relationship with the main character warranted this once in a lifetime dinner invitation, but as we got deeper into the story it took a different turn. There were moments where I felt like “okay this could be cliche”, but it never quite reached that point. Genres & Themes | Normally I wouldn’t mind this, but if you’re going to start a story with all of these interesting characters whom you know have impacted the main character’s life in some way, and then don’t follow through with their story, it’s a bit frustrating.

Aww, I’m sad that this just wasn’t the book for you!

The dinner continues. Do Michel and Rick represent the indifference of their generation, or are teenagers more socially conscious in the Information Age? I realized about halfway through that I was being taken through the seven stages of grief with this character. Provocative and unsettling, The Dinner explores parental responsibility for their children's behavior, as well as the extreme lengths a parent would go to protect his or her child.
I loved how this was a journey through grief.

I mean, I know this is true of my life, and I’m sure for most of you. Hopefully you’ll be reading some better books soon! Happy reading! Serge then brings it up.

The author of Orphan Train returns with an ambitious, emotionally resonant historical novel. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened. But besides being Sabrina’s namesake, her movies also held a high importance in some pivotal moments in Sabrina’s life.

I liked the ending. Reader Reviews.
