Publisher Description

Hannah Sugarman seems to have it all. She works for an influential think tank in Washington, DC, lives in a great apartment with her high-achieving boyfriend, and is poised for graduate school and an academic career just like her famous parents. The only problem is that Hannah doesn't want any of it. What she wants is much simpler: to cook. When her relationship implodes, Hannah seizes the chance to do what she's always loved and starts an underground supper club out of her new landlord's townhouse. 

Though wildly successful, her underground operation presents some problems. First, running an unlicensed restaurant out of someone's home is not, technically speaking, legal. And she kind of forgets to tell her landlord—who just happens to be running for local office and wants to tighten neighborhood restaurant regulations—that she is using his place while he is out of town. On top of all this, Hannah is faced with various romantic prospects that leave her guessing and confused, parents who aren't huge fans of cooking as a career, and her own fears and doubts that threaten her dreams. A charming, accessible romantic comedy, The Girls' Guide to Love and Supper Clubs is a story about finding yourself, fulfilling your dreams, and falling in love along the way.

"Loved this book, Hannah Sugarman character is fabulous. Love her strength and determination and never giving up on her dream despite set backs on the way. Favourite bit was when she quit her job.... Many of us would love to do it so spectacularly."

— Caroline (5 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Journalist and debut novelist Bate deftly conjures up a witty, resilient heroine, surrounds her with delightful friends and frenemies, and sends them all on a rollicking quest for love and delicious food.”

    — Kirkus Reviews
  • “But the food—oh my goodness—the food!…A culinary tour of DC’s locavore scene. And the supper club menus are saliva-inducing catalogs of deconstructed Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, honeycomb ice cream, and much, much more. Do not read this book hungry.”

    — Washington Post
  • “[An] engaging debut…Bate’s implausible happy ending feels right.”

    — Publishers Weekly

    " It started slowly, then picked up speed and then slowed again. I'm afraid I found myself skipping through the pages to get to the point where Blake finds out what's going on. That's why the 3 stars. I enjoyed the premise of the book but thought it was a bit too long and would have benefitted from a lower page count. Would I read her next book, yes I would! "

    " This was a very fun, easy read. Made me curious to find out if "underground supper clubs" are a real thing, or something that was created for the book. Regardless, very entertaining, if at times a bit unbelievable. Thoroughly enjoyed it! "

    " i cringed a lot at the stupid stupid choices the lead character makes and the ending was too simply resolved. But I liked the book because it was set in DC, but not all about politics and government. "
