Welcome to my stop on the The Second Chance Supper Club blog tour sponsored by Suzy Approved Book Tours! Thank you to Suzy for the invitation!
About the Book:
Two estranged sisters reunite in an emotional novel of family, forgiveness, lost hope, and new beginnings.
They had a forever bond, until a sudden tragedy thrust them apart. Now, each at a crossroad in her own life, two sisters’ paths are about to intersect.
Broadcast journalist Julia Frank has it all: a career, an ambitious fiancé, and the hard-won respect of her peers. Until a ruinous decision destroys her reputation, puts her job at risk, and sends her reeling toward the only soul left to turn to: her estranged sister, Ginny.
The owner of a clandestine supper club hidden in the Arizona desert, Ginny Frank has a lot on her plate. The last thing she wants is more drama—or the burden of nursing her younger sister’s wounded ego. But family is family. Besides, Ginny can use the help in more ways than one, and she’s going to make sure Julia pulls her weight.
As a tenuous reunion reopens old wounds, Julia and Ginny have no choice but to confront the pain and betrayals of the past. Will working to keep the secret supper club running be just what they need to find common ground and a path toward forgiveness, or will the increasing stress push them even further apart?
My Thoughts:
I love an emotional read, and The Second Chance Supper Club brought on alllll the emotions.
Julia and her sister Ginny were close until a tragedy separated them for years.
Julia is a journalist, and she’s filled her life with her career and her fiance. She makes a bad choice, though, and it threatens to destroy her career. She turns to her sister for help.
Ginny is the owner of a supper club in the desert of Arizona. She has her own share of responsibilities, but she can’t turn her sister away, so she welcomes Julia with open arms.
The two work together in Ginny’s supper club and are forced the confront the past. Will they be able to forgive each other?
I love a second chance story, and this one was heartwarming. There’s a good pace, and I was kept intrigued throughout. I liked each of the sisters and enjoyed the realistic portrayal of their path towards healing.
Overall, The Second Chance Supper Club is a powerful, easy read with an engaging “supper club” backdrop.
I received a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Wow, that is a gorgeous photo. Is that the famous Dickens? I am impressed how often you manage to include a cat in the photo. Are you building up the still-life around the cats? Or have you taught them to pose? 😉 The book sounds great as well, I too enjoy a second-chance storyline.

Thanks so much! I love a second chance story too. No, I’m not talented enough to do the still life around them. I set up and start taking pictures, and sometimes I am lucky enough that they are curious and join in…and fall asleep! 😂 I used to time them around the afternoon when I knew they’d be napping/tired, but I don’t do that anymore.

Yes, I guess most cats are curious and like to be where the action and the people are. In any case, even if it’s by coincidence, not design, I love to see the cats in the photos now and then!

Thank you! I really love it when they join me, too, even if they tend to get in the flowers and add a little stress. 😂 The end product is always worth it!
