I have loved Toni Jordan's previous novels, but Dinner with the Schnabels did not feel quite as tight as her previous works. The basic premise is that Simon is an architect who has found himself made redundant over Covid. He lacks direction and can't even motivate himself to do a garden makeover for his old friend. He has little idea how to interact with his friends and family, feels vulnerable and got at. And there are some amusing set piece scenes, and there is a fairly pat attempt to explain everything at the end, but for much of the read, this just feels that we are adrift, a bit like Simon.
