Synopsis: All it takes is the right book to turn a Book Hater into a Book Lover…That was Elliott’s belief and the reason why he started The Book Haters’ Book Club—a newsletter of reading recommendations for the self-proclaimed “nonreader.” As the beloved co-owner of Over the Rainbow Bookstore, Elliott’s passion and gift was recommending books to customers. Now, after his sudden death, his grief-ridden business partner, Irma, has agreed to sell Over the Rainbow to a developer who will turn the cozy bookstore into high-rise condos.

But others won’t give up the bookstore without a fight. When Irma breaks the news to her daughters, Bree and Laney, and Elliott’s romantic partner, Thom, they are aghast. Over the Rainbow has been Bree and Laney’s sanctuary since childhood, and Thom would do anything to preserve Elliott’s legacy. Together, Thom, Bree and Laney conspire to save the bookstore, even if it takes some snooping, gossip and minor sabotage.

Filled with humor, family hijinks and actual reading recommendations, The Book Haters' Book Club is the ideal feel-good read. It’s a celebration of found family and a love letter to the everyday heroes who run bookstores. (Synopsis from Goodreads)

 

My Thoughts: This was such a great feel good book. I love books about books, and ones that contain bookstores. It's all about saving a place that means so much to each of them.

The pending sale takes up a lot of the first half of the book, and I was excited to get past that point, and get to the real meat of the story.

I enjoyed the message of this story. It was sweet.

This book has a great family element to it, being with the family you choose. I think a lot of people will really enjoy this one.
