Synopsis

"This sparkling novel starts with high energy and unique characters that move from one surprise to another." —Ann Garvin, USA TODAY bestselling author 

All it takes is the right book to turn a Book Hater into a Book Lover…

That was what Elliot—the beloved co-owner of Over the Rainbow Bookshop—believed before his untimely passing. He always had the perfect book suggestion for the self-proclaimed Book Hater. Now his grief-ridden business partner, Irma, has agreed to sell the cozy Over the Rainbow to condo developers.

But others won’t give up the bookshop without a fight. When Irma breaks the news to her daughters, Bree and Laney, and Elliot’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 Elliot’s legacy. Together they conspire to save the bookshop, 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 love letter to everyday heroes—those booksellers and librarians dedicated to putting the right books in the right hands every day.

This is an enjoyable story, but it took forever to get to the point. Literally the entire first 50% is about the pending sale of the Over the Rainbow bookstore.

Goodreads review by Elizabeth of Silver's Reviews on March 05, 2023

You are selling the bookshop? You can’t do that. It’s our legacy. Irma and Elliott owned the Over the Rainbow Bookstore for years, but when Elliott died, Irma sold the store to a developer. Her daughters, Laney and Bree, and Elliott’s partner, Thom, are definitely not in favor of the sale. They think......more

Goodreads review by "Avonna on October 26, 2022

Ugh! The entire first half of the book is boring and I did not care for any of the characters. It only picks up in the last half of the book and by then I did not care. I am surprised I stuck it out to the end. I had high hopes with this title, but for me it half way delivered too late.......more
