I really enjoyed the idea behind this book because we have all thought about it - who would we have over to dinner if we could pick anyone, dead or alive. This story is told in present at Sabrina's 30th birthday party and through flashbacks featuring most of the various guests at her party.
I liked the idea of it and even though I saw parts of it coming, I still really enjoyed following along with the story to see how it all unfolded.
It was hard for me to ignore the fact that this dinner party was able to happen without much explanation and Sabrina doesn't seem too interested in the particulars of how it happens. I kept waiting on some kind of explanation and it never came. That was the only thing that was kind of disjointing to me. And that is probably just the type of reader I am. Even in a fantasy type story I still want an explanation for why things happen the way they do.
Other than that, this story was moving and sad and just may inspire you to think about the people who would be on your dinner list and to spend time with them if you can.
