Morrow’s bold, sketchy line art and rich, dense color palette, coupled with luxurious food illustrations that one can almost smell from the page, couch the story in cozy, familiar atmosphere, making for a heartfelt—and mouthwatering—tale. Straightforward, easy-to-follow recipes for the novel’s featured dishes conclude." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"The richly colored art is full of movement and personality, gestures and facial expressions bringing intensity to every character...Bursting with flavor." —Kirkus Reviews

"As good as your favorite meal. Friendship, coming of age, food, everything a story needs to be great." —AIPT

Advance Praise

"The richly colored art is full of movement and personality, gestures and facial expressions bringing intensity to every character... Bursting with flavor." —Kirkus Reviews

"This graphic novel speaks to food lovers... Morrow excellently weaves nostalgic recipes in with true teenage problems as the school year progresses, and she throws in a little about mental health issues as well. With a message that everyone is dealing with something, the book successfully shows how, after a setback, things can get better with time. The illustrations are energetic and distinctive, showing off characters’ personalities without readers even needing their dialogue. As a bonus, recipes are included at the end. Readers who enjoyed Raina Telgemeier’s graphic novels will easily transition to Morrow’s teen drama. VERDICT A solid choice for any middle or high school graphic novel collection." —School Library Journal

Brilliant, teenage/YA, feel good, comic. The artwork style is a perfect match to the story. High School final year, hooray! But school timetables means it’s impossible for friends to spend time together. The solution start a club, ‘Supper Club’. We see the year unfold with school exam stress, futures to be decided or ignored, friendships tested. But ultimately we see the support that having a friend group brings. Read the comic, try them recipes (supplied, I really liked that touch). Good food and friendship, what more do you need? Thank you to Image Comics and NetGalley for the comic ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

This was a sweet, easy to read, fast paced graphic novel.
Cute illustrations, with very different looking characters made it easy to follow.
Food brought our protagonists together, they each have their own issues they are working through, but cooking and 'Supper Club' help them to heal.

I adore the inclusion of the key recipes in the back of the book. Great idea!

A fun exploration of how food can bring comfort during the hardest of times. I loved seeing the connection and comfort these three young women found in cooking during their last year of high school. This novel had a wonderful imagery and thoughtful portrayal of the issues one faces.

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!

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.

(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!

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!

🍜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.

Thank you so much to Image Comics and Netgalley for the free review copy. I really enjoyed this poignant graphic novel following three friends navigating a variety of life events and social pressures, from having an ill parent to friendship quarrels. The illustrations were gorgeous and I adored the bright colors and expressivity of it. I do wish the narrative arcs of the central characters were more well-rounded, but only because I wanted more.

I really liked supper club. It is a story about a group of girls in their senior year of high school. After discovering that they have no classes together or clubs that appeal to them, they form their own. The Supper Club is their new club where they meet on fridays to have a themed Potluck.

For many reasons this book was extremely comforting. For one, these teens are not depicted scandously like modern media. They still are youthful and innocent. I wish still experienced life like that my senior year. Each of the girls are experiencing their own unique struggle, and they worry they can't share it with one another. Eventually, they find that friendship can help them conquer anything.

This is an? amazing feel-good read. I recommend evergone to at least give it a try.

I received this book as a free ebook in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own and have not been influenced by the publisher or author.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

I think sometimes it's easy to forget the pressure we put on teenagers. As an adult we look back and often think their problems are not 'real' compared to what our current challenges are. But they are - they are real problems and real stresses. Having a solid group of friends can help ease us through even the most difficult of times. Enter Supper Club. A beautiful idea for a group of friends to stay connected when the chaos of life pulls them in different directions.

I loved the story of High School students swamped with their final year workload who decide to set up a ‘Supper Club’ as the solution. A tale of the importance of a strong friendship group as they go through school exam stress and hurdle.

A charming story of three teenagers coping with their senior year of high school.

I really enjoyed this one. All three girls had distinct personalities and their friendship was portrayed really well. The depictions of their weekly foodie get togethers was great and made me hungry! I really liked the artwork. My only little gripe is that it felt quite episodic and some major events were left unresolved, but I still really like the book and the recipes at the end were a brilliant touch.

I'd like to thank the publishers and Netgalley for kindly providing me with an advance copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I finished this feeling absolutely ravenous. It's an adorable and in places heart wrenching tale of three best friends who set up a Supper Club to make sure they stay connected in their senior year while also sneakily gaining an extra-curricular activity for their college applications.

The food we saw was amazing and the recipes at the end were drool-worthy. The ups and downs of dealing with mental health, family issues and illness as a teenager were well handled and really added a layer of emotion to the story but still allowed space for some humorous moments.

The artwork was beautiful and really brought the characters to life.

The only place I felt let down was I could have down with more food, the first chapter was so perfect it set me up for a full meal for each Supper Club but it never delivered on that.

This heartwarming story is about a group of teenage friends who are going through their final year of high school. Recognising that they will have very little time together because of their studies, they organise a weekly supper club and they cook, eat and share their lives together as they go through the changes and challenges of school and life.

The artwork is colourful and the story is engaging. It is an enjoyable book with recipes included.

This is really wholesome and cute. I love the foodie aspects, especially the recipes at the end. I do wish there had been more focus on the food as the title is 'Supper Club' after all. I thought there may be more focus on the cooking and why they chose the food and then enjoying and sharing meals. However, I still really enjoyed this and liked the character arcs.
My favourite bit was when they made rainbow cookies and I also loved the cosy artwork that showed time passing and what time of year it was with halloween, new years eve, Chinese New year and valentines day being depicted in page spreads.

Would recommend as a cosy quick read for the rainy autumn nights with a cup of something warm and a cookie, or a comforting bowl of mac and cheese.

This is a delightful book about 3 best friends getting through their senior year of high school together. As a food enthusiast, I loved the food theme of this graphic novel, and the recipes at the end are the icing on top. Jackie Morrow did a brilliant job tying in the food theme with the struggles that high school seniors go through when they are about to graduate. The excitement for what’s to come, mixed with the anxiety of leaving the known shines through for these girls as they navigate the finality of their senior year. I can see this being a great read for any high school senior feeling nervous about their next steps, letting them know they are not alone in those feelings.

I liked this graphic novel a lot. It was fun, and the three main characters reminded me of the main characters from my favorite show, Amphibia. There was a lot of drama and they each went through issues but tried to remain friends. My biggest complaints are that the food wasn't actually that much of a focus during the story, and we never learn much about the other members of the club. Like, who are those others girls? They were never introduced.

This was beautiful. I loved that each character had a secret struggle, and they all came together for comfort. The coloring was so pretty; I loved how it changed page to page and had gradients at times. The character design was super cute. I love cooking stories, so the fact that this has three recipes at the end is amazinggg. This comic was so well done; I’m excited for any work this author/illustrator does in the future

I thought this was a great, easy graphic novel read. It follows a group of friends experiencing their senior year and trying to maintain their friendship through the ups and downs of teenage life, family issues, relationships, and school. They try to maintain this friendship through the creation of a Supper Club.
This book is light hearted for the most part with the exception of some of the issues that the characters face. I think this would be great for students to see that reading can be simple and about a story of friends going through the season of senior year. The illustrations are well done and I love the themes around food and relationships. Different friends are able to show their culture and family traditions through what they share with their friends.

This could be an easy and fun book to read with students and then do your own fun food presentation with the class.

Actual rating: 3.5

I absolutely adore food based stories. There is something so wholesome about how food brings people together. Supper Club is created when three girls, Nora, Lili, and Iris, need to come up with a way to get together after classes in their final year of High School. The story follows them along this final year as they go through rough patches in their friendship, conflicts between homelife, serious illness of a parent, and questions what someone should share vs what someone should/has the right to keep private. But through all this, Supper Club remains something special to the three of them.

The food wasn’t as central to the Supper Club’s plot as I had initially thought, but I really enjoyed the creation, momentum, and sometimes messiness of Supper Club. It felt like it represented all of their feelings and conflicts throughout the always complicated last year of High School. Each chapter is represented by a different food, and while we don’t see them cooking much - the story is much more about how people's lives move forward and they can come back and connect over food.

The art is fun and stylized and there is humour and heart that shines throughout the story. I would love to see more foodie stuff, but I think the story that was told was beautiful and exactly what it needed to be. I would definitely read more from this author.

- beware: you will be hungry while reading this! I love books that center around how joyful food is, and this really captures so many aspects of the joys of cooking and eating with friends!
- I loved the drawing style! It was easy to read the story and the art added to the meaning!
- This book would be a great read for anyone in their senior year of high school (as well as everyone who has already gone through that particular rite of passage).
- I loved the friendships in this one! The story is really split between 3 friends, and we get a glimpse into their backgrounds/homelife. The ending really wrapped everything up so well, and it was so sweet to read!

Supper Club is about a group of friends in their last year of high school who, after they find out they don't have any classes together, decide to create a food club so that they can still hang out. The story centers around their friendship, the challenges of life, and of course, food. This book does a fantastic job of weaving together the food they all make and the drama of trying to hold a friend group together when life gets in the way. The artwork is beautiful and the food illustrated represents a wide variety of cultures. The recipes at the end of the book are also a fantastic addition! A great pick for foodies and fans of realistic fiction alike.

This is a cute book! The drawings are nice and I love that there's recipes included in the back of the book. We follow Nora, Lili, and Iris in their last year of high school as they realize they have different schedules and attempt to make time for each other with a Supper Club. We see how they all navigate the pressures of school and life and how it impacts their friendship. While the book doesn't go super in depth Morrow portrays how hard it is to find the words for your feelings and what teenage friendship is like as well as how food brings people together. Overall a nice read!

This was a sweet graphic novel that highlighted the way friendships can carry us through tough times. The story centered on a group of friends during senior year of high school with conflicting schedules and busy afternoons. With little time to spare, they needed to create a time they could be together. The answer is Supper Club, where their group comes together to make foods meaningful to them every Friday night. While scenes from Supper Club will make you hungry, it is the friendships and the way the three characters overcome difficulties that make the story. The art is well rendered with a lovely color palette. The illustrator manages to bring believable and interesting movement and impact to high emotion scenes. (Thank you to Netgalley and Image Comics for the ARC)

This was a fun, cozy coming of age story. Not all the storylines were resolved, and some of the bigger plot points were left unsaid in a way that was slightly confusing. I think this would be a good read for any teenager,

‘Supper Club’ with story and art by Jackie Morrow is a graphic novel about good friends about to graduate and go separate ways.

Nora, Lili, and Iris are in their final year of high school with increasingly different lives and pressures. They start a supper club for an extracurricular activity and it acts as a connection point for the friends. But life and pressure increasingly stresses individuals and friendships.

There was a point near the end where this book won me over. Before that point, I felt it was a pretty mediocre effort. It finishes well, so my advice is to stick with it.

I enjoyed this story so much. It is a perfect coming of age story, that happens to include food. The girls in this book are all seniors in high school but all going through such different things in their own lives. The Author has created an amazing story of happiness, sadness, triumph, and learning. Each girl in the story is coming into their own and understanding that sometimes you don’t really know what is 100% going on in someone else’s life. I love the club aspect to it and the variety of foods included in the story.

I feel that even as a 28-year-old I can remember back in high school and relate to these girls. Each one of them has relatable aspects. Whether it be losing someone, having rocky friendships, or having strict parents. Each girl is so well written and displayed their life dynamics that I think everyone can either find one girl they related to a lot or have parts of each that you can relate to.

I honestly cried at points because I remember feeling the same emotions that these girls were going through in different events of the book and how it felt hard at the time to understand why certain life events where happening. I love that the club helped keep them together and always brought them back together not matter what happened.

The illustration style is so cute! It may not be one of my favorite styles, but I think it works for the story and the feelings it tries to evoke. I also really enjoy at the end you get the recipes for all the things made. I am going to try some of them because they looked delicious.

I would recommend this book to anyone I know that is between 12-22 that is going through a rough patch in life, in friendship or if I knew they need a feel-good book to pick them up. I would also recommend it to anyone older then 22 that wants a feel-good book because honestly this made me feel so many things but, in the end, it was like a warm hug.
