Even though I received just an excerpt , The book sounds really amazing .
Intriguing story with good characters and great storyline .
Would be really interested in reading this novel when published .
Although I was well aware that it is a preview, I was a tad disappointed I could not read more about Amy, Bridget, and Hazel, and their journey towards healing. As someone who has recently lost a parent, I could relate to the characters and their struggles. It has the makings of a great book. Looking forward to reading the complete version.
Author Melissa Storm opens with a funeral. Two best friends, Bridget and Amy, are obviously at a low point after experiencing the loss of two loved ones. It’s heavy and tense, and Storm expertly explores the complicated array of emotions individuals experience when processing grief in only a few pages. And yet, there are pinpricks of hope— the beginning threads of these women finding a new purpose, a new place, and maybe even a bit of romance.
It’s a tantalizing start and I can’t wait to read the rest.
I was provided an excerpt of The Sunday Potluck Club by Melissa Storm through NetGalley and Kensington Books. This is the story of four women who met through their parents terminal cancer diagnoses. Every Sunday, they each bring a dish and have dinner together while they work through the tragedy of having a parent suffering through cancer. They have one rule: everyone grieves in their own way.
I’ve loved what I read so far and can’t wait to read the full book when it’s available.
I really enjoyed the excerpt and am excited to read the full arc when it comes out. However, I am unable to review this title as it's only the excerpt.
This preview about two friends who meet on a cancer ward portends a real winner, one I look forward to reading in full when it becomes available. Bridget is in vet school, Amy a second grade teacher. They bond with other grieving women as members of the Sunday Potluck Club, sharing food, tears, laughter, and hope. I can’t wait to see how their stories unfold! 5/5

I have to admit that I was disappointed when I reached the end of the book so quickly and then realized this was only a preview of the book and not the entire title. I enjoyed what I read--but would have loved to read a bit more to properly give a full review. There are many character developments that were not complete even though the general story line did come through--and what I read was interesting.
Am looking forward to reading the book in its entirety and thank you for allowing me the opportunity toread this overview prior to publication.
This was lovely and I enjoyed it. Nothing helps a body get through the tough times like good friends. Toss in some good eats and frank, truthful conversation and I feel as though I can conquer the world. Thank you Melissa Storm, for writing such a lovely story.
