Sabrina is celebrating her thirtieth birthday, meeting her best friend Jessica at a restaurant. But Sabrina is surprised: this is not an ordinary dinner, it's a party of six, some living and some dead, from a list Sabrina compiled in college (and later edited a bit). The list includes Audrey Hepburn, because (of course) everyone wants Audrey Hepburn on the roster at their imagined six people at dinner. Also included is Sabrina's father, who was an alcoholic whom her mother kicked out when Sabrina was five years old. Her philosophy teacher, Professor Conrad, is included, too. As is Tobias, a man that Sabrina first met at an art show on the beach at Santa Monica Pier when she was in college, and later found again by chance in New York City years later. Sabrina feels that she and Tobias were meant to be. Their relationship, as well as the relationship between Sabrina and her father and Sabrina and Jessica come under the microscope. The fatherly Professor Conrad and the surprisingly motherly Audrey Hepburn help move the process gently along.
I thought this was a well-done quick read, as we learn about Sabrina's life and her relationships.
