I received an excerpt of this book about a group of women who meet in a hospital and bond over the illness and death of a loved one. The title of the book refers to their potluck suppers on Sundays as they form a group with one another in friendship and grief. The two main characters, Amy and Bridget are both young women struggling to come to terms with a parent's death. Amy is a second-grade teacher and Bridget is in veterinary school, unsure if she wants to continue.

Emotional and uplifting, it's lovely to find a book where women come together and help one another through grief. Sharing food and companionship is a very helpful way to work through grief and I'm excited to read the entire book and I want to thank NetGalley and Kensington Books for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was only a preview but I have to admit it didn't do much for me - the book is about friends who have either lost a parent to cancer, or whose parent is undergoing cancer and how they move on. I don't think I read enough of the book to enjoy it but it definitely has potential.

In the end i got to figure out this is an excerpt of the novel. But i'll review it anyway.
It was an easy read but i didn't get time to invest or get the feel to know the characters in such short time.

***I received an excerpt from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.***

After reading this short excerpt, I decided I wouldn’t waste my time on reading the full book. The start is too slow, too mundane, and the characters are too bland. I get that the center of this book is moving forward from grief, but it was a little too slow for my taste.

Since this was only an excerpt of the book I didn't really feel like I had enough time to get a clear picture of where this book was going. In the portion that we read, we see four friends who are dealing with grief over the death of a parent. I didn't feel as if I got even an inkling of what any of the characters were like. It seemed to spend the whole time talking about the different ways they were dealing with grief and I kept thinking how depressing this book will be if this continues. It may have an uplifting conclusion, but from the section I read, it did not entice me to seek out the full book to find out.

ARC: The Sunday Potluck Club is about a group of friends who connect over the shared experience of having a parent fighting cancer. While this book does show aspects from every girl the main character is Amy, an elementary school teacher, who lost her mother a few months before. In this book Amy is seen working through all these feelings and learning how to get back to her normal routine without her mother. Along with Amy's grieving we see her friends grieving the loss of their parents too.

I really enjoyed this excerpt! This is the first book I've read by Melissa Storm and I'm glad it is, because this is the perfect book to read. The book is an easy read and it is written so that you feel like you are there with the characters. Melissa Storm describes the scenes and characters perfectly. It is so easy to picture all that's happening and what each character looks like!

I highly recommend reading this book and think it would be an amazing book club read. I will be buying a copy of this book for friends and I can't wait for the full book to come out!

There was only a couple of chapters available and it was definitely intriguing. Ill have to pick it up once it's released.

Did not realize this was just the excerpt. Hope to read the entire book when it is released as an ARC.

This is an excerpt for this book.
It is a story of friends and their journey together. The hard parts, the good parts, the real like events.
I look forward to finishing this book. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy. This is my own opinion

I received a free excerpt of The Sunday Potluck Club #1 by Melissa Storm from NetGalley for my honest review.

I didn't realize it was just an excerpt when I received this. The Sunday Potluck Club is a group of four women who are bound together by the death of someone important in their lives. It is aa story of their friendship and the support they give to each other.

This is an excerpt for the book which comes out in May 2020. I thought the concept of the book sounded like it would be good....strangers becoming friends because of cancer diagnosis, but I was disappointed. I didn't feel the characters had much depth or were especially likeable. so I never really felt invested in any of their stories.

Great start to this book, I can only hope to get the rest of the book now, and I will complete my review. It has a lot of potential,

Amy, the main character, is a little hard to like. It understand that she’s grieving. It she seems judgmental about everyone around her. The lingering sadness is written well but makes it hard to power through, and this was only a short excerpt.

So sad that this is only a small excerpt. I didn’t realize it when I requested, but no problem. I finished it very fast, and it left me longing for the rest of it. Can’t wait!!

So disappointed this was only a small portion of the book. I feel so robbed because I wasn't aware of this until I looked down and saw I only had 45 minutes left in the book way too soon.

I can't wait to be able to finish it as soon as it comes out. I usually read thrillers bout like to give my mind a break from time to time and this will be the perfect escape.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC tease of a great book in exchange for my honest opinion.

In the excerpt that I read I found the storyline to feel almost forced and stilted. Just when I was starting to warm up to the characters the excerpt ended. But I don't find myself intrigued enough by the women in this story to want to read more.

The Sunday Potluck Club preview is a lovely read that absolutely gets me excited for the full release in 2020. I'm looking forward to reading the book in its entirety.

LOVED this book! It was so sweet, heartfelt, and full of life and love. I didn't go into it thinking that this was the perfect Valentine's Day book, but it is!

I really wanted to like this book, and to me it fell a little bit flat. The writing was good I just couldn't connect to the characters as much as I wanted to!

Amy is the 2nd-grade teacher, Bridget is still going to school to be a vet. The journey of their friendship is touching, there are many tears and lots of laughter. Their friendship started in a cancer ward and flourished from there. They start to connect with other grieving women and they are members of The Sunday Potluck Club.

I was given this book by Netgalley to read, for an honest review.
I am so glad that I was approved for this book, it will have you crying, laughing, and feeling like you are apart of the story. We all deal with something rough in life, and it helps to have an amazing support system of others who can relate to what you're dealing with.
