🌸Could a new start heal her appetite for life?🌸

When Cath moves to a rural Northumberland village to escape her husband’s betrayal and a life that no longer feels her own, she’s determined to embrace a fresh start. But the quiet charm of her new surroundings seems only to magnify the loneliness of being on her own for the first time.

On a whim, Cath suggests starting a supper club, transforming her garden shed into a cosy, twinkling haven where neighbours can gather. What begins as an effort to ease her solitude becomes something far greater – a circle of friends, each bringing their own stories, struggles, and laughter.

As bonds deepen over shared meals and mishaps, can Cath discover the healing power of community…and dare to believe in love again?

It's been a while since I last read a Caroline Roberts book and I was very happy to see her back writing. And with this, its another glorious book from her. 

And as I have come to expect from this author, there is plenty of delicious sounding food described, during each of the supper club meetings and even some recipes at the back of the book. 

I loved getting to know Cath, as she starts to build a new life for herself in Northumberland. And I also love how food can bring people together, which is definitely a theme of this book. 

Add in an adorable Westie, the owners of the village shop, a delectable widower, and the local whirlwind, you have the makings of a fabulous new social group. 

I loved every second of this book, its warm hearted, tasty and I totally love all of the characters.

It was a joy to read and I look forward to hopefully coming across these characters again at some point in the future. 

Thank you to HQ Digital and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
