Dinner Party: Summer Reads with a Twist 🩸

What is it about summer that makes people behave terribly?

Maybe it’s the heat. Maybe it’s the rosé. Maybe it’s the fantasy that, somewhere between Capri and Cape Cod, we can become entirely different people. But from doomed Riviera romances to glamorous beach houses hiding spectacular dysfunction, some of the best novels are set in beautiful places where things slowly or explosively fall apart.

If you’ve ever wanted to discuss why fictional people make such catastrophically bad decisions in stunning locations, then join us for a dinner party inspired by the ultimate summer reads with a twist.

We'd love you to come with your own twisted summer novel in mind. Here are some examples:

The Talented Mr Ripley | Bonjour Tristesse | The Paper Palace | Malibu Rising | Cleopatra and Frankenstein | The Guest | Conversations with Friends

The Format

  • Informal atmosphere
  • Prompt cards to guide the conversation
  • Food, drinks and a table of women seeking a proper conversation
