The plot is pretty all over the place in this one, with the one constant of the friends starting a supper club to ensure they have time to hang out during their senior year of high school. The story focuses on three main girls, though the club itself seems to have more members that aren't named and are barely present. Beyond this, it's almost like there's three different stories going on, as each of the main trio have their own thing separate from their friends, yet none of them really seem to connect. This makes the story feel disjointed and hard to follow. I did like the art style, and felt like the humor and interactions, particularly in the beginning, were realistic for a close friend group. If the story had been more cohesive, this would've been a great book.

I found it difficult to immerse myself in this one. Reading this felt really scattered, and I didn't really get to know the characters on a deep enough level. Though food was a big part of it, I was expecting Supper Club to be more of a constant throughout the book, and for the food, cultural influence of the dishes, and cooking process to be more center-stage. A lot of the book took place outside of it, at the beach, video arcade, school, and clarinet recital. It just wasn't what I was expecting. My favorite scenes were those with the rainbow cookies and the mofongo.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher.

This was cute!! I ALWAYS am a sucker for a book about food, particularly when it involves a recipe at the end 🥰 I loved these pals!!!!

#NetGalleyARC This was a fun read. The characters were very realistic and believable and fun to follow. The illustrations were great. A very cute, quick, fun graphic novel read.

A sweet story about three high school seniors each struggling with their own issues who bond over weekly potluck dinners. My primary issue is that because we were following three main characters, each storyline got shallow treatment and somethings just get left unresolved. Examples: <spoiler> Does Lili ever apologize to Danny? What are Nora's post-graduation plans? Do the other girls ever offer any actual support to Iris?</spoiler> The book honestly could have used an extra 100 pages to really flush out each arc and provide more resolution. I do appreciate that the book doesn't attempt to provide a 'perfect' ending with everyone's problems swept away, but there were some loose ends that needed tying back.

I recieved this arc in exchange for an honest review. This manga was a cute/cozy read. Any manga with food in I love to read haha I'm a foody. I thought the recipes at the end were a nice touch.

Really enjoyed this one!! Slice of life and moving. Follows the typical struggles of growing up with a sort of food focus.

Love the touch of the recipes at the end of the book. Deff recommend this one for a quick slice of life read.

Supper Club is an enjoyable slice-of-life graphic novel about a group of girl friends in high school, doing their best to deal with the drama, family issues, and mental health struggles. The girls form a group called Supper Club as a way to both earn extra credits for their college application, and to cope with the stresses of life.

I thought this was realistic and enjoyable. There were many different characters with varying backgrounds and individual problems, and the book showed each character working through them in a healthy way and becoming a better person. The books main theme was the value of friendship, and I think it exhibited that very well.

🍜Plot: Three friends face senior year of high school, exams, and personal turmoil. To stay sane during it all, they create a club dedicated to eating and sharing food.

🍜Review: Graphic novels that integrate delicious looking food next to a heartwarming story is a superior story to behold. Morrow does a wonderful job of illustrating mouth-watering meals and telling a story young readers will easily relate to.

I really enjoyed Supper Club. It was beautifully illustrated and compassionately portrayed the various struggles each friend was dealing with. I appreciated the diversity of the characters, and how they could use their nationalities' food to come together.

Thanks to Netgalley and image comics for giving this opportunity to read this comic

i just finished it, i finished it in an hour, it exactly what i needed! i loved how it was just a simple light comic while actually delving into the characters minds and struggles, and how even if they struggle or have hardships and might stumble upon arguments with each other, they always find a way to each other :( i truly feel like if this comic existed when i was 17 i’d love it. because it did delve into so many issues but in the lightest way possible! it’s a cute comic and i loved the artwork and i loved how the author did include those recipes in there!

A sweet graphic novel that shows the importance of friendship and making time for relationships. It touches on tough topics teens might face including family members being ill, panic attacks, underage drinking, and dating. A quick and enjoyable read.
Thank you NetGalley for the advanced reader copy! All opinions are my own.

Not necessarily a strong read, The meals seemed to be rushed through and I think a lot of them could heave had their significance developed to add to the plot.

I enjoyed watching these characters find comfort in food. I really liked the illustrations and I wanted to be there trying all of these foods with them.

Thanks NetGalley for a copy of this book.

(4/5 stars) This slice of life graphic novel was packed with so much nostalgia for me - a group of girls in their senior year decide to form a Supper Club to spend time together despite life pulling them in different directions (different classes, different clubs). The story was a bit choppy and some plot points were more left to interpretation rather than explained, but the story never got completely lost for me. I appreciated the diverse characters and the representation of the struggles that many high schoolers experience but may not realize are universal -- anxiety, friendships changing, disappointment, sickness, etc. The art was well done and overall I enjoyed the quick read.

Thanks to NetGalley and Image Comics for the eGalley.

First let me say I am a big fan of Image Comics. I got into comics about 7 years ago when I met my husband and since then Image has always been one of my favorite imprints.

Supper Club is a super cute story with gorgeous artwork. The three main characters are all very different young women who are best friends. They come together with some other background friends to create a supper club as an afterschool club.

The friendship between the three girls seems very genuine to me. They rib each other and laugh together. They also lack the communication skills to deal with big life hurdles like anxiety and an ill parent. The main reason why I didn't give this 5 stars is because there is no conflict resolution. The characters never tell each other about their various emotional distresses. Either we are supposed to assume that happened in the background or that they genuinely never talked which I find hard to believe.

I loved the celebration of the different cultural backgrounds of the characters and appreciated the cute recipes at the back of the collected comics. I would recommend this for young adults/teenagers. I definitely wish that I had had a supper club in high school, probably would have kept me out of some trouble!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me preview an eARC of this quirky little graphic novel. The concept of the story is centred on three friends who find themselves growing apart as their lives get busy in their final year of high school. So they, along with some other friends, start a supper club where there’s a theme and everyone brings a potluck item connected to the theme. The best part of the book is when the story goes down a rabbit hole of one of the dishes the friends bring, and we get to see why the recipe is special to the friend who brings it. Unfortunately, the in between parts are kind of lacking. The story doesn’t really go anywhere, as the girls encounter problems they somehow think they can’t share with their friends, despite the, being very close friends, presumably. The novel has much promise, and the cultural idea of coming together around food is a cool concept for a YA graphic novel and it’s disappointing it didn’t fully deliver.

This was a sweet coming of age story of three friends in their last year of high school. Loved the art and the food illustrations, but I do agree with other reviews that it felt like at some points we were breezing through the plot. However, overall a good YA graphic novel!

Thank You, Netgalley and Image Comics for the e-Galley.

The art style of the illustrations in this graphic novel are great, and overall I really enjoyed the storyline and each characters journey however, there were parts where I got a little lost, like I'd missed a page and I felt really confused about what had happened, it did all come together in the end.

Love a book with recipes, because books with food in the forefront make me super hungry and make me want to cook the food mentioned in the book.

I'm relatively new to graphic novels and I found Supper Club to be an absolute pleasure! The animation style is perfect for the mood of the story and in my opinion, the perfect animation style to highlight all the varied kinds of food.

I appreciated the Asianr representation through food that's eating throughout the year, as each season was complemented by another dish. The story line tackles some heavier topics with the harsh realities of adolescence. Supper Club handles these conflicts beautifully and uses food as a catalyst for resolution.

The recipes at the end are a wonderful surprise and I will SURELY be using them!
