10 hours, 49 minutes
When your life falls apart, all you need is a friend…
Abbie Finch loves her job.
Unfortunately, her boss doesn’t love her.
When she finds herself unexpectedly unemployed, Abbie realises that she’s let all her friendships fall by the wayside and has no one to turn to.
Lost and lonely, Abbie decides to leave her comfort zone and join the neighbourhood café’s community table. There she meets aloof, elegant Ethel, down-on-his luck Bob, colourful, chaotic Dawn and recently relocated Viraj. Friends? Not yet. But when they decide to help the homeless people in their community by staging an extravagant fundraising event, will something that began as a good deed help Abbie find a way back to herself—and make lifelong friends at the same time?

Table for Five was a joy to read! I became so involved and was rooting for each character so much that when it ended I realized that I will actually miss each character.
Abbie Finch has given up everything to rise to success in her career. When she loses her job suddenly, she does not know what to do with herself. She begins going to a café each morning and sees that there is a community table for lonely people to make friends. She has lost all of her friends because she chose her job over relationships and realizes she needs a friend. Abbie makes the courageous move to sit at the table for lonely people. This causes a chain reaction of unlikely friendships and heroic deeds for a small community.
The narrator was a delightful actor and I enjoyed listening to this book on audio. This book made me incredibly happy.
Thank you Brilliance Publishing and Net Galley for the wonderful Advanced Reader Copy. I will be researching whether Izzy Bromley has other books to read right away. #NetGalley #TableForFive

this is such a sweet little literary hug 🥺

I really like the author's light, breezy writing style. That, plus the wildly disparate cast of characters, made this a book I'm not likely to forget. The main character, Abbie, has her faults, but considering how kooky her parents are, it's not surprising that she has a lot of growing up to do, despite being in her late twenties, if I recall correctly. Dawn is that lovable loud-mouth friend who never lets a thought pass without expressing it, often to the embarrassment of all within earshot. Bob hit rock bottom and is on his way back up, but still has a ways to go. He makes good strides, thanks to his new friends. Eighty-four-year-old Ethel is a mystery slowly revealed. And Viraj is a tech jock who finds there is life beyond the computer, but his skills help make the group's joint effort successful.
All in all, if you're looking for a fun read and you love kooky characters, I highly recommend this novel.

Meh. 2.5-3 stars. Cute, but I don't understand why it's so highly rated.

Not sure why I kept going with this book as I nearly DNFd a few times throughout 😂
Abbie is one of the most unlikeable main characters I’ve come across. She’s selfish, self obsessed, judgemental and while she does improve in places as the book progresses, most things still turn back to her in the end.
Take her friends - omg can’t believe they haven’t asked me about something they have no way of knowing about, despite the fact I have a) ignored them for ages, b) shown no interest in their lives and life events and c) NOT TOLD THEM ANYTHING IS GOING ON. Honestly. She even thinks “shouldn’t they just magically know” at one point. I do get that people you regularly talk to would ideally check in if you went quiet- but she’s been superficial with them for months and never really acknowledges it fully. There’s a passing thought that she’s been a bit crap but nothing like oh I may need to apologise and check in on them for a bit before I can expect them to do the same. And everytime she thinks about them it’s always about how they can support her.
With the (ex) boyfriend it’s not quite that bad, but it’s constant that she thinks about him, and thinks “oh no I’ve completely burned bridges there” or “definitely done now” when that is clearly not true from either side. She can’t stop thinking about him. Like two seconds after saying she won’t, she does. And he keeps getting in touch so I honestly don’t know why she thinks it’s burned bridges. Clearly was amicable enough 😂😂 though he’s also clearly ridiculous by asking her to move across the country after six weeks when they haven’t said I love you or even slept together. Honestly.
Her family is also a nightmare though to be fair her mum is clearly non supportive and only in it for bragging rights. But we have very two dimensional characters - especially in the nicer brother’s quiet girlfriend. That could have been a really nice opportunity for growth and friendship rather than dismissive thinking of someone who’s been part of the family for years. Plus she said she’d take her sewing and then never mentions it again. Ugh.
I will say the overall story about the table and the friendship group is nice enough, if a little pie in the sky, but that part was clearly what kept me going. The characters were all exaggerated though and Dawn’s clearly neurodivergent tendencies were so OTT. Though at least not overly mocked, it didn’t feel like sensitive representation even if I did like Dawn as a character overall. It felt like a token gesture and then done without running past anyone who is neurodivergent. But I’m also not, so do take that with a pinch of salt. Would love to see what a ND person thought there. The homeless rep also felt 2d and stereotyped.
Basically the heart and intention behind the story is sweet but leans into stereotypes and doesn’t let the main character grow as much as she thinks she has.

The story of strangers brought together at a café’s community table beautifully illustrates how we all have a story to tell, a lesson to learn, and wisdom to share.
This book left me feeling inspired about our ability to spread goodness, kindness, and joy—something we all need more of.

An enjoyable read. Makes you think about the sort of person you are, what values you have and the importance of friendship. I liked the characters.

The book’s premise was appealing and the characters turned out to be likable. Abbie Finch suddenly loses her high-powered marketing job and finds herself without any true friends or a to-do list to keep her busy. She cautiously joins a community table at the local café and discovers what is really important.
That’s the short version of this heartwarming story. This book has a taste of everything to make it successful: quirky characters, a bit of romance, fashion, community, and friendship. Author Izzy Bromley explains she wrote this novel to explore modern loneliness.
What bothered me was that main character Abbie went from confident to doubtful and insecure literally overnight and remained insecure throughout the rest of the novel. One of the qualities of anyone who has worked in marketing (as this character has) is optimism and strength. I had trouble sympathizing with her as she was just too anxious and wavering throughout the novel.
Another item that bothered me was that 83-year-old character Ethel is considered “really old” by the others at the community café table. They assume she doesn’t have any friends because they have all died (because almost no one lives to be 83?). This book was published in 2024. Eighty-three isn’t as ancient as it used to be and many people are quite healthy and active at that age.
Despite these complaints, I did enjoy the book. It was a bit predictable but sometimes a predictable book is a comfort-read I appreciate in between intense thrillers, vivid historical fiction, or poignant memoirs and fascinating biographies.
Interesting fact: I am a fan of author Imogen Clark and was pleased to discover that Izzy Bromley is Imogen’s pen name for books of another genre.
In conclusion, this was a 4-star read for me. This feel-good novel kept my interest and I enjoyed the final outcome. I would recommend it.

When I first started reading this book, my hopes for it being something I would love was pretty low. I had a hard time getting into the main character because she is so opposite of myself (or how I perceive myself to be). However, as I continued on reading, I started to understand that there is a little bit of Abigail in all of us. We are self-absorbed and wrapped up in our own lives that we forget to have gratitude. We look for things that will make us elevate in status. We seek validation from our families, friends, careers, and even strangers on the internet. This leads us into putting our identity in the wrong places, and we usually hurt people, either intentionally or unintentionally, on the way to validating our worth.
"Table for Five" beautifully shows the journey of finding worth in the fact that we all have value and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. The concept of a community table is a lovely idea. It brings people from all stages and walks of life together. When we throw off preconceived notions or fears of what others might think, we become free to live a life that welcomes people in. And who knows, you might just make four new friends.
Bromley celebrates humanity well. We are all unique, gifted in different ways, and created for a purpose. When we come together, we can create something that is good and beautiful. We can make something that lifts others up and brings light in this dark world. This book inspired me. I hope it inspires you.

This was an adorable and feel good story!
I enjoyed getting to meet each of the characters and feeling connected to each and every one of them. However, I did not like Abigail's character that much. I feel like she was being a brat at times. Like she cut all her friends off, so why is she mad that they haven't reached out. Also I did not like her complaining about not having a job the whole book, and making no real attempt to find one. She also thought she was better than everyone else and used to make fun of them at that table. And then when she was lonely and had no friends, then she considered sitting at the table (shameful at first).
Overall, the message of this book is very important and this book told it well!

3.5⭐️ This was a nice read. Facing the reality a job title/status should not be your identity or your entire life and how in today’s society your value is measured by such. I like the honestly of the main characters judgements before she learns to open up her mind from what she thinks is “normal” because…who cares!

My book club was picking a book for the month after some action packed memoirs and thrillers. We were excited to read something wholesome and Table For Five did not disappoint.
It was a breeze of a read, telling a story that could very well happen in real life. The character development and imagery were just the right amount to paint a picture. Nothing overly descriptive but nothing leaving you hanging.
Overall a high recommendation for when you need something light that occasionally touches on real issues.

4.5 stars… but this one just felt so so good…
This lovely read started a bit slow for me. I didn’t really like the narrator, and it took me awhile to warm up to her. But I did, and all her friends too. Sweet story, uplifting message, great cast… just overall a warm hug of a book. I’d love to read more of this crew’s adventures.

What a surprise! I picked this book up just to have a change of pace vs the genres I’d been reading and it was wonderful. It was so much better than I expected and I cried at the heartwarming finale. Each character wins your heart and the way the author frames the main character’s (Abbie) own personal struggle and self examination is brilliant. What a thought provoking story about lessons we could all stand to learn, about inherent assumptions we make (often misguided) based on how people present themselves or our own preconceived notions, and about how we each evaluate our own self worth and what’s truly important - well they are great lessons. Fabulous, heartwarming, humorous and inspiring! Read this one!!

Absolutely brilliant, lovely characters and a very thought-provoking story of how loneliness can happen to anyone and never judge until you know truly about someone's life.

I quite like audiobooks for travelling and pottering around, books where I don't need to constantly be engaged and calculating the stakes, and this did fulfil that brief. It was just a little bit too fluffy for my liking and I wasn't massively keen on the way that Abigail was written.
Suddenly finding herself without the career that had come to absolutely define her life (not helped by it being the only thing that her mother was interested in about her, her love for her children seemingly very dependent on how much they offered in potential bragging rights!), I did really feel Abbie's sense of suddenly being unanchored and struggling to understand who she actually was without that career. The shame that came about from that also felt realistic and, trying out the "community table", it was made sense that the life she'd had as a career woman was incompatible with the uncertainty and anxiety of her present state. Through her gradually developing bond with the other misfits on the community table, she had the opportunity to reconcile the person she was with the person she could be and how that, perhaps, circumstances had conspired to challenge the values she held that were perhaps misguided.
They *were* a group of misfits, a little too deliberately so at times, and it did lead to a somewhat repetitive stream on consciousness from Abigail where she'd have a "shucks, what ma like? Judging people without understanding them!" moment. Trust your audience, don't lay it on with a spade. It was in this aspect of Abigail's characterisation that I struggled, the constantly laying on thick of Abigail's self-doubts played off as cutesy and compassionate to the point of presenting her as completely asinine. Quality character writing doesn't depend on deconstructing your character constantly to stress what a good person they are!
As for the plot of the misfits coming together to raise money and awareness for homelessness, it was contrived but thoughtful enough? I mean, could have done without every other event in Abigail's life somehow clashing with her charitable commitments and more bland, guilty musings from Abigail and just what was that romance? Utterly baffling that we were expected to care, even more so for the "triumphant" happy ending of a couple of which one half was presented as a few disjointed text messages for 95% of the book.
It did the job of being a listenable book without too dramatic stakes though, so...yep!

2.5 ⭐️⭐️✨
Didn’t hate it but didn’t love it either 🫠 It’s a cute cozy book about friendship BUT I honestly wasn’t fond of the main character Abby. The story is centered around a sitting area in a local cafe that is labeled “The Community Table” ☕️ Locals are invited to sit if they are feeling lonely and want the company of others. At the beginning Abby is judging and makes assumptions of the people who decide to sit at the table. Even though, she herself wants to sit there but doesn’t want to seem like an “oddball” 🙄
Throughout the book she is learning that her career shouldn’t define her whole life. She regrets not staying in contact with friends, because now that she lost her job she’s in need of venting to someone. Abby is too much in her own head, complaining about not having any job offers but yet not making any attempts. Her love life? 😑🤦🏻♀️ She has a man WANTING her but her lack of communication keeps making the situationship go in circles. Towards the end I was just done with Abby 😤
The only element that kept me reading the book was the amazing people Abby met at the community table. Each person coming from a different walk in life. My favorite was Dawn 🧩💛

Amazingly good book
When I started reading this book, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. Maybe because it hit close to home. As I continued to read it, I found myself falling in love with the characters. Their feelings were absolutely spot on and the reader can connect with the highs and lows of each character. This is a book I would recommend to everyone as I think we have all felt lonely at one time or another -- maybe even found a friend in an unlikely situation or place.

The premise captivated me and I started the book with some expectations.
I liked the heroine's voice (this is told in first person) and the "message" this book aimed for, but I think it took too long for some things to be set up.
I also felt a little tired of going through some situations which seemed to lead nowhere and when we reach the final chapters, things turned out to be so basic and rushed, I thought there was a lack of balance between the attention given to the middle of the plot and the end.

cute feel-good story!!!! it was very slice of life and the writing was so good too🙌🏼 super light and airy almost (?) sometimes i find first person stories cringe, but this one was so well-written and i felt like i was living in the story. i also loved everyone’s character development and how you could see the relationships between the characters change. it really makes you think about how you see urself and others fr.

This might’ve gotten an extra star but there were a few things that kept m me from it. Parts of the story dragged from beginning to end and it wasn’t beneficial for me as a reader. Typos. Bad editing always turns me off. The MC had many moments where I just sighed and thought this girl would drive me nuts. The character Dawn was way too eccentric for me and the one I didn’t understand or particularly like the most.
Despite all that I loved the community table and the range of characters that formed this group. I enjoyed how they came together and found redemption of a sort through the power of friendship.

This was so wholesome. An oddball cast of characters come together at their local supermarket’s cafe, after being brave enough to sit at the cafe’s “community table” - a place to make new friends. Making new friends as an adult is hard af and this book really shines a light on that! All of these characters warmed my heart and I really enjoyed the writing style. Highly recommend!
