This was my pick for the August 2018 Book of the Month box! “I love you, but it doesn’t mean anything if you’re not happy.” Friends, I wanted to love this so much. And at first, this really did feel like watching a lucid dream play out, and I felt so enthralled and captivated! But as time went on, I just cared less and less about the dinner, about the past, and about this book. The Dinner List is a play on the conversation starter of which five people would you bring to a dinner party,...
We've all done it before. We've daydreamed, analyzed, pondered, wished and sometimes argued about it. What five people would you invite to dinner if you could have anyone. Living or dead, famous or family, past or present, real or fictional, people you know or someone you've never met - those are a few of the questions we have contemplated when making our ultimate dinner list.Years ago, thirty year old Sabrina and her best friend, Jessica, make a list of five people they want at their dinner. Ye...
4.5 starsThe Dinner List is a fabulous read – thought-provoking, contemplative, and a bit magical. Sabrina arrives at her 30th birthday dinner expecting to dine with just her best friend and instead finds Audrey Hepburn and 3 other important people from her past waiting to share the meal with her. She recollects a time when she was asked to name 5 people, living or dead, with whom she would like to eat dinner and realizes that these individuals are now there to celebrate her birthday. As the eve...
Unique, wistful & magical!Such an imaginative premise that will have you asking yourself if you could invite five people living or dead to a dinner party who would you choose? THE DINNER LIST by REBECCA SERLE is a wonderful, captivating, touching, fun and light-hearted tale that I was immediately drawn into and devoured rather quickly. REBECCA SERLE delivers an intriguing, engaging, complex and well-written story here told in short alternating chapters to make this a quick and easy read. The sto...
*4 Stars* for a unique read that warms the soul, touches the heart, and stings the tear ducts! Very much enjoyed this one! RTC...
3.5 stars Audiobook narrated by the author, Rebecca Serle 5h 50 min 39secs Who are the 5 people, living or dead, that you would invite to dinner? Now I have been asked this question at different times of my life( FYI- General Romeo Dallaire, Jane Austen, Tolstoy, Anne Frank, and Meryl Streep), but I have never considered adding people from my personal life ( am I terrible?). That's what makes The Dinner List so refreshingly original. While we know the question, Sabrina , our main character, ar...
The Dinner List is the story of Sabrina’s 30th birthday, in which she arrives at a restaurant and 5 guests are waiting for dinner with her. The guests include Tobias, her ex-boyfriend, Robert, her father, Jessica, her best friend, Conrad, one of her former professors, and Audrey Hepburn. The story shifts from the here and now to events in Sabrina’s life, prior to the dinner party. This was a cute story, and a bit deeper than I initially anticipated. I enjoyed the premise - Who hasn’t been hit wi...
I can summarize this book in one sentence: "Dumb Bitch chases financially irresponsible Fuckboy for a decade and cries that it didn't work out."Seriously. If MC were a real person, her Instagram would be all inspirational quotes. You know exactly the type of girl I'm talking about. She meets this Fuckboy at 19 in Los Angeles, and then finds him again 4 years later in New York (after being a stalker trying to find him). At 23, they then have a codependent AF on-and-off relationship for 6 years wh...
Beautiful beautiful story! Just loved it. I am a big fan of Audrey Hepburn and she would definitely be on my Dinner List. This book was fun, it was sad, it makes you laugh and makes you think. So happy that I found it.
When I first started this book I could not figure out why it had such a high rating. Part of this was my mistake from buying the audible instead of the actual book. The author chose to narrate the story, whether this was to cut costs or not they should have just spent the extra money. Serle read through this story sounding very bored, and would occasionally rush through sentences too quickly. It reminded me of high school when students would go around the room, reading out of a textbook. It soun...
