I am intrigued by this book sample by Melissa Storm. I have lost family members to cancer and I am interested in how she tells the rest of the women's stories. Everyone grieves differently but when I saw some of my own behaviors, it made me take a look at myself. I look forward to seeing the full story.

I enjoyed the pre view read I received through Netgalley. Meeting new friends as adults can be hard to do for anyone. meeting on a cancer ward must be even more. However, this is so well written with humor and warmth.

Thank you to the publisher for this excerpt. In these initial chapters, I already found myself liking this cast of young friends united do to the worst circumstances and support each other to hopefully move forward. I am looking forward to the full book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington books for a early excerpt in exchange for an honest review.

I was originally very excited to read this as the reviews looked promising! Unfortunately, I just really could not get into the story. It took me almost 3 weeks to read the 59 page excerpt and I'm someone who can usually rip through 400+ pages in a day. I did not like any of the characters and I found the writing style very simple. The pace was incredibly slow and sentences were very choppy which annoyed me.

Although I think Melissa Storm, is tackling an important topic of dealing with grief, I just don't think this book is for me.

Enjoyed this book very much.
Would absolutely recommend it to others

Characters were likable and well developed. Arc of the story was strong.
Easy read that is well written, what many readers are looking for. This would fit that bill perfectly.

When four women meet at a hospital where their respective parents are being treated for cancer, they form a bond and a Sunday night dinner club. This allows the four of them to commiserate and vent and get away from dealing with cancer for a night. As their parents die, one by one, is there still any reason for them to stay friends?

I didn’t realize that this was a preview to the full novel when I started it. Now I’m hooked and would really like to know how things turn out! Looking forward to the release of the full novel in March to find out what happens to these four friends. Full review available at that time.

3.75 stars for the preview!

The Sunday Potluck Club left me craving for more, the friendship of four women through their losses, and struggles are fascinating. I want to know more about once happy Amy and now cheerful Bridget. Publish the book already. Thanks for the excerpt though.

This was only a small sample of the book to come, but so far I am definitely interested in reading the complete book! It took me a little bit to get into it, but after a couple chapters I was hooked. I'm excited to see how the friendships grow!

*I received an advanced partial copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review*

I didn't realize this was an excerpt but I love what I've read so far. I can't wait for the rest of the novel to be available!

Truthfully, I find it hard to read an excerpt of any book. I usually feel pulled in by just reading the small summary. I really like the premise of this book and I would definitely read it when it comes out, I mean, I have to know how it ends!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of The Sunday Potluck Club by Melissa Storm in exchange for an honest review.
First and foremost, I love the characters and the premise of this book. The excerpt is enough to reel me in so yes, I would definitely want to read the entire book! All in all, I really look forward to reading the full-length novel.
4 stars for now!

Read an excerpt from this novel and enjoyed the friendship between Bridget and Amy and their bond made of grief and loss. The chapters read have me looking forward to the full length novel and the stories that will unfold for this teacher and vet student.

This preview seemed like it was going to be one big trigger for me, but I'm glad I stepped into it. It's a very good handling of female friendship and overcoming the loss of a parent to cancer. Each of the four friends chooses their ways to process their losses, and the story's layering and crafting already pleases with how it's transporting us through their relationships. I am excited to read the rest of it.

Although this is only an excerpt, I like the premise so far. I do hope to receive the rest of the chapters to form a true review but so far I’m invested to see where the story takes us

When I started reading this, I wasn't aware it was just an excerpt. I found it quite enjoyable, and am definitely itching to find out more about these characters.

However, I don't feel I can give a full review without having read the full book.
