A review by hannahprall
The Rejected Writers' Book Club by Suzanne Kelman

3.0

I would give this book 2-1/2 stars but rounded up. I would not recommend to anyone under 40 years old. I pushed through this book because our book club was reading it. I thought that the characters were over exaggerated, in a way that the personality of bold and confident was turned into forceful and controlling. I think the author intended for the over the top personalities of the characters to be entertaining but I found it annoying. Also, the plot had too many mishaps, so much that I was wondering if they’d ever make it to their destination and only kept reading because I felt obligated. The ending was enjoyable and provided good closure. This aimed at an older group of women as I related most to Janet’s daughter (she seemed personable for a pregnant lady that has unexpected visitors of her slightly icy mom and her 4 kooky companions). Favorite part of the entire story? The raccoon
