Synopsis

After months of playing the lottery and hoping for an uptick in her dog-boarding business, Janet’s friend Annie must face the inevitable: the bank is foreclosing on her family farm. But thanks to the Rejected Writers’ Book Club, Annie doesn’t have to face it alone. With just a few weeks to raise the $20,000 that she and her fifty rescue dogs need to avoid becoming homeless, the writers need a fund-raiser, and fast. Much to Janet’s horror, Doris has another crazy plan.In a moment of inspiration, their fearless leader declares a solution: a musical extravaganza. No one in the group has ever produced a musical, but Doris will not be deterred—they’ll write it together. And with Flora, who has never sung a note in her life, as the lead and Janet as their reluctant director—along with a hypochondriac costume designer, a pyrotechnics enthusiast, and Janet’s very pregnant daughter pitching in—what could possibly go wrong?To produce a miracle for Annie, Janet and her friends will work around the clock holding auditions, concocting elaborate costumes, and getting a little too close to blowing themselves up—but will it be enough?

I love the clean humor of these books. I'm definitely going to read the next one! This is "laugh-out-loud as you read and make people look at you strangely" kind of funny. I remember laughing my way through the first book and wondered if this one could be as good. It was!......more

Goodreads review by Gaele on June 19, 2017

One of the most ridiculous, fun and wholly unrealistic stories I have read in a long time, that surprises readers with an unexpected depth of emotion and solidarity when one of the members of this little club is in trouble. Not to put too fine a point on it, but at one point or another, each of the......more

Goodreads review by Glenda on June 06, 2017

An enjoyable read😀 I love the diversity of each character and the different personalities are very true to life. The author has written about a diverse group of women who have forged a connection through their writing skills-or rather the lack of😀 It is humorous but also tugs on my heart stings. Eac......more

Goodreads review by Katherine on June 04, 2017

This is the second in the Southlea Bay series and it was a delight to return the crazy, colourful and highly entertaining world of the Rejected Writers' Club. If you haven't read the first book it doesn't matter, this works just as well as a stand alone. Kelman is very good at filling the reader in......more
