A review by fireth
The Rejected Writers' Book Club by Suzanne Kelman
3.0
The cover with a stack of teacups drew me in. Even though this genre is not my cup of tea (no pun intended), I thought it's time to try something different and challenge myself. Reading about a group of ladies is definitely not what I normally incline to.
This book is about a group of writers who got rejected by publishers (hence the name) and are looking forward to their 500th letter. However to their dismay, one of the members received an acceptance letter. Janet was somehow reluctantly included in the rumbustious gang on their road trip to San Francisco to demand a rejection letter from the publisher instead.
While reading, I was literally laughing out loud. At times, I had to cover my eyes and experience third-party embarrassment with their antics. I surprised myself for liking and finishing this book. However, even though this book is the first in the series, I doubt I'll read more. This book acts as a palette cleanser to get me out of my reading funk but I doubt I'll continue with this genre.
I don't know whether I'm the only one, but I was visualising The Golden Girls actors as the characters of the book.
Special thanks to NetGalley, for providing a free copy from the publisher, in return for an honest review.
