Table for Seven / Whitney Gaskell / 400 pages / December Challenge Winter Holidays

Fran and Will Parrish are hosting a New Year's Eve dinner party for seven, offering a different course for each hour of the get together.  The party and the meal are such a success that all decide to form a monthly dinner club and call it Table for Seven.  We follow the couples and singles, Audrey, Coop, and the irrepressible Leland, through a year of their lives, and witness marital infidelity, a drifting apart that nearly leads to an affair, and the disappointments and challenges of dating and friendships.  This is a comfortable read, however I was amazed at the culinary expertise of the protagonists.


"Sometimes a certain amount of amnesia was not only excusable, but necessary for friendships.
