Set in contemporary London (2018), this story follows the Maguire family after a bombshell threatens to tear them apart. 

Gerry and Linda are splitting up after raising two children to adulthood together. 
Daughter Nicole is in contact with an ex and using alcohol as a crutch.
Son Jamie is due to marry his partner Lucy but has developed a crush on a work colleague. 

The book is mainly set around different food or drink occasions when one or more family members are together (hence the title). My favourite character was Linda, I thought she was so real and lovely and I liked the parts that made her so human - the perfume, the baby toy. I felt for her. 

I also liked Priya - the author could've easily made her so unlikeable but she didn't, and the story was the better for it. It's not a drama-filled action-packed novel - it's a slow, but engaging family drama. I liked it a lot. 

Thank you to the publisher for the Netgalley arc.
