Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Beth Harbison whips together a witty and charming—and delicious—story about the secrets we keep, the friends we make, and the food we cook.

MUST LOVE BUTTER: The Cookbook Club is now open to members. Foodies, come join us! No diets! No skipping dessert!

Margo Everson sees the call out for the cookbook club and knows she’s found her people. Recently dumped by her self-absorbed husband, who frankly isn’t much of a loss, she has little to show for her marriage but his "parting gift"—a dilapidated old farm house—and a collection of well-loved cookbooks.

Aja Alexander just hopes her newfound friends won’t notice that that every time she looks at food, she gets queasy. It’s hard hiding a pregnancy, especially one she can’t bring herself to share with her wealthy boyfriend and his snooty mother.

Trista Walker left the cutthroat world of the law behind and decided her fate was to open a restaurant…not the most secure choice ever. But there she could she indulge her passion for creating delectable meals and make money at the same time.

The women bond immediately, but it’s not all popovers with melted brie and blackberry jam. Margo’s farm house is about to fall down around her ears; Trista’s restaurant needs a makeover and rat removal fast; and as for Aja, just how long can you hide a baby bump anyway?

In this delightful novel, these women form bonds that go beyond a love grilled garlic and soy sauce shrimp. Because what is more important in life than friendship…and food?

Fun book

The 5th star would have been for a longer, more in depth book. I would enjoy meeting these characters again as their lives continue to evolve.
I will definitely be watching for more from this author and narrator.

Enjoyable. Just very enjoyable.

This was a great listen. Nothing heavy and earth-shattering but a very enjoyable story of three women who get stronger through time and their association with each other. I was looking for a sequel but I guess there is not one.

Is that all??

I was really drawn in to these characters and their stories! Their stories were really starting to roll…when it ended. So many loose ends, so much not explored, but that’s where it ended. Super unsatisfying. I actually feel bad for the characters, living out an existence of undeveloped potential.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

I thoroughly enjoyed this memorable, audible book and the narrator was absolutely splendid. The storyline was very engaging and I was able to connect instantly with all of the characters, even those who had small parts. I laughed and was a tad surprised throughout the entire book.

The narrators voice was compelling and allowed me to imagine the scenery while putting myself in the room while observing everything spoken, witnessing every detail.

I would definitely recommend this audible book. it was a great listen and one that I will certainly listen to again.

Light hearted for a quick listen.

This book is not too indepth so if you're looking for a literature level book look elsewhere. However if you're looking for a light hearted quick read you'll enjoy this one.

Perfect read

This was your perfect sweet story of friendship and love. It would be a great book to take the beach or curl up on a cold winter day.
