***** The Lonely Hearts Book Club was a wonderful story about a book club started when an librarian was concerned about one of her patrons. It was told from the point of view of the various characters, which I usually enjoy and this was no exception. The chapter by Arthur was especially wonderful. There was a bit of romance, which I'm usually not into, but it worked for this book. Recommend.

I hated the old man character and it was such a reach to think the librarian would quit her job for him.
“Library people were weird.”
My favorite quote. Being a library person, having worked in a library for years, I proudly claim that truth. But this book was not one I will be shouting about from the roof tops and suggesting quickly to people to read. It was pulling teeth to get me to read this. It’s a cute little read about a group of people, lonely in their own ways, who come together and form a book club as they do life together. It’s a light-hearted read, but not one that captured my attention.

A wonderful story. I enjoyed this one. Couldn't help love the part Anne of Green Gables played in the book. ❤️

I really enjoyed this book. I will read another book by this author. It looks like a cheesy romance book but it is not that at all.
