Publisher Description
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 new-found 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?

Customer Reviews
This book could have been good
This book was so rushed and all over the place it was painful. You barely got to know the characters, their relationships or how they even got to where they end up at the end of the book. One minute you have a divorce happening but no real look into that or the random likes to be yelled at thing that gets thrown at you at the end of the book. Then you have a guy scrolling through Instagram and has to try to remember this girl he went to college with and why he’s following her. But then “he’s always loved her” gets thrown in at the end and they just randomly come together with absolutely no build up to it. Then you have another character that was fired from her job and at the end they scrape the surface of all that. She likes this guy and he literally calls off his engagement after chasing a rat and barely talking to her. Honestly this whole book was just painful and made no sense. It’s like the author started out with a good idea and then had to meet a deadline and just threw a bunch a crap on the last part of the book to weakly tie things together. Don’t waste your money
