A sweet and heartfelt tale about life, regret, and living with the choices we make (and don't make)

This was a sweet read, full of wit and regret and cautious hope. I was immediately drawn in by the opening line (Audrey Hepburn is one of my favorites too) and intrigued to see how Serle would play out the eponymous dinner. The back-and-forth between the hour-by-hour dinner conversation and Sabrina's life and history with each of the invitees was a great format for laying out the story (both back and ongoing) and it kept me engaged by drawing me over, through, and among the events that underpinned the relationships between the characters. The writing was simple and heartfelt, as were the interwoven story lines. The emotion never felt cloying or overdone; rather it struck just the right chord between sentiment and reality and I quite enjoyed it throughout. This would make a lovely movie!
