In so many works, romantic love is the end-all, be-all, even though, for many of us, it’s a fleeting love. This book has one of the most realistic portrayals of female friendship I can remember reading, and I absolutely adored how this was at the heart of the book. We do watch Dannie navigate her relationship with David, but to me, the real love story is between Dannie and Bella. Welp, I’m glad to say that I was totally wrong. I expected this to be a book about romantic love, as that is how the description read, with some schmaltzy lesson about finding your real soulmate in unexpected places. Then she wakes up, back in her “normal” existence. Different apartment, different dude, different look. It’s pitched as a book about Dannie, who is in love with her dream man, and on the night that she gets engaged, she has a vision of her life 5 years in the future, and everything is different. Thankfully, I thought it lived up to the hype, and at the same time, it wasn’t at all what I expected. “The Dinner List” was one of my favorite books of 2018, and so I was quite excited to pick up Rebecca Serle’s newest book, and it’s definitely gotten a lot of buzz in our small bookstagram community. This has the potential to wreck you, and I would be remiss not to mention that. Yes, I may have had some shower tears this week, which if you know me in person, is quite rare.
