THE SECOND CHANCE SUPPER CLUB by Nicole Meier

I honestly feel bad about this review. I usually love all the Lake Union books but this one was just not one that I found enjoyable. It had good parts no doubt and I finished it but it took way longer than it should have. It was a disappointment for me. I’m in the minority about that I know but I have to be honest.

While the story had some good parts I didn’t like any of the characters. To me Olive was just a spoiled young lady who needed to be brought down to earth and appreciate all the sacrifices her mother has made for her. On the other hand Ginny, Olive’s mother, was a bit irresponsible in that she kept spending money she didn’t have in the hopes of making more. If you can’t pay your bills you can’t run a business. Then there is Ginny’s sister Julia. Julia did the unthinkable with her job as a reporter. I just didn’t find that believable at all. She was suppose to be very good at her job and have great potential but she blasts an official on the air. That was just not professional at all and if she was as good as it this story says she would not have done that.

I didn’t like any of the characters in this book. To me none were likable at all. They were whinny, self centered, spoiled and I just didn’t like them. I mean Julia is going to give up a job she’s worked hard for? I don’t believe that would happen. 

They do all come together in the end and everyone has a big happy ever after but from start to finish this book did not hold my interest at all. It was boring to me and I’m very sorry about that. It just wasn’t for me.

Thank you to #NetGalley, #LakeUnion and #Nicole Meier for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I recommend this to anyone that does not expect any real action or edge of your seat thrills. If you like a story about selfish siblings and one’s daughter then it’s for you. And you may love it. Many have. It was just me I’m sure. 

I give this 3 stars and that is because I finished it.
