Spotlight and Giveaway: The Dinner List

We are excited to feature The Dinner List by Rebecca Serle, which published on Tuesday. Thanks to Flatiron Books, we have one copy to give away!

“We’ve been waiting for an hour.” That’s what Audrey says. She states it with a little bit of an edge, her words just bordering on cursive. That’s the thing I think first. Not: Audrey Hepburn is at my birthday dinner, but Audrey Hepburn is annoyed.”

At one point or another, we’ve all been asked to name five people, living or dead, with whom we’d like to have dinner. Why do we choose the people we do? And what if that dinner was to actually happen? These are the questions Rebecca Serle contends with in her utterly captivating novel, THE DINNER LIST, a story imbued with the same delightful magical realism as One Day, and the life-changing romance of Me Before You.

When Sabrina arrives at her thirtieth birthday dinner she finds at the table not just her best friend, but also three significant people from her past, and well, Audrey Hepburn. As the appetizers are served, wine poured, and dinner table conversation begins, it becomes clear that there’s a reason these six people have been gathered together.

Delicious but never indulgent, sweet with just the right amount of bitter, THE DINNER LIST is a romance for our times. Bon appetit. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

Rebecca Serle is an author and television writer who lives between NYC and LA. Serle co-developed the television adaptation of her YA book entitled Famous in Love, for Freeform and Warner Brothers Television. She is a graduate of the University of Southern California.

    From my past someone other than a relative who meant something to me was my 8th grade teacher.

    Someone from my past would be my best friend from High School. We lost touch after I moved.

    I think it would be great to have Kate Middleton as a dinner guest.

    Maybe my 8th grade Literature teacher who showed us there was lots and lots of great reading out there.

    Someone fun and witty is a great addition to any party or dinner. I'm thinking Sean Connery.

    I don't have any idea who I'd have- will take some serious concentration and consideration! lol BUT - as far as a celebrity, I'd love George Carlin, I think he'd be great for dinner conversation!

    I think Audrey Hepburn would have been excellent company at a dinner party!

    I have an uncle who was killed in a motor vehicle accident. He was a big influence on my life.
