Great excerpt and I’m looking forward to the full book. Well written.
Many thanks to Kensington Books and to NetGalley for providing me with an excerpt in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was only a small sample of the book to come, but so far I am definitely interested in reading the complete book! It took me a little bit to get into it, but after a couple chapters I was hooked. I'm excited to see how the friendships grow!

*I received an advanced partial copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review*

I didn't realize this was an excerpt but I love what I've read so far. I can't wait for the rest of the novel to be available!

Truthfully, I find it hard to read an excerpt of any book. I usually feel pulled in by just reading the small summary. I really like the premise of this book and I would definitely read it when it comes out, I mean, I have to know how it ends!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of The Sunday Potluck Club by Melissa Storm in exchange for an honest review.
First and foremost, I love the characters and the premise of this book. The excerpt is enough to reel me in so yes, I would definitely want to read the entire book! All in all, I really look forward to reading the full-length novel.
4 stars for now!

Read an excerpt from this novel and enjoyed the friendship between Bridget and Amy and their bond made of grief and loss. The chapters read have me looking forward to the full length novel and the stories that will unfold for this teacher and vet student.

This preview seemed like it was going to be one big trigger for me, but I'm glad I stepped into it. It's a very good handling of female friendship and overcoming the loss of a parent to cancer. Each of the four friends chooses their ways to process their losses, and the story's layering and crafting already pleases with how it's transporting us through their relationships. I am excited to read the rest of it.

Although this is only an excerpt, I like the premise so far. I do hope to receive the rest of the chapters to form a true review but so far I’m invested to see where the story takes us

When I started reading this, I wasn't aware it was just an excerpt. I found it quite enjoyable, and am definitely itching to find out more about these characters.

However, I don't feel I can give a full review without having read the full book.

Interesting story, how we cope with death from the perspective of younger women.
Since this is an excerpt, it's difficult to provide a thorough review. Were the characters well developed? Hard to tell... The relationships between the women becomes more defined as we progress through the chapters. I don't think I would read this book in its entirety as I find it unrelatable.

Sunday Potluck Club by Melissa Storm a fair three star read. I only had the first few chapters of this one, so it may get better, and I really hope it does as it shows promise, it just didn’t deliver yet. Four friends in this story are all interesting and bring something to it, getting more of their stories may make this a better read.

I didn't realize this wasn't the whole book - BOO!! But from what I have read so far, it will be a great book. I can't wait to read the rest of the book and see where the story and characters go! I want to be a part of this potluck club!

Thanks NetGalley for the snippet ARC.

For whatever reason I only got sent a sample. However I did like and read the sample, but not enough to buy the rest of the book. How did the ladies work through their mourning, did they ever get their dogs adopted, what was going on with the quiet child in class? I guess I will never know.

Remission. They have a pact to not judge how each of them
Grieve but they second member Amy, who lost her mother a month before,they nod her friend Bridget is not dealing with her mother’s loss. Amy is just returning to work but hadn’t been herself since her mother’s Passing. The book seems interesting and I would consider finishing it.

This was a great start to the novel, a great sampler. I cannot wait to read the rest of the book in its entirety and see where the story and characters go from here!

This is only an excerpt of the book that will come out in 2020. It’s a beautiful start of a story about friends learning to grieve together and alone. I’m excited to read the rest of it when it comes out.

The story of friends who help each other get over family sickness is a really heart warming thought. These women are there for each other, when any one of them needs a helping hand. I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

An intriguing excerpt, I want to know what happens. This was just the start of the story and there's so much I want to know. The characters are well written and make for a good story. I hope the book has some good surprises instore. Can't wait to read the book.

I received an excerpt from The Sunday Potluck Club as an ARC from NetGalley. When I started reading this, I didn't realize it was just an excerpt and now I need to get the full copy to find out what happens. The Sunday Potluck Club is a group of four women who are bound together by the death of someone important in their lives. They become friends and provide support for each other.
