The Lonely Hearts Book Club
by Lucy Gilmore
4.5 stars
This book was NOT what I expected because I thought it was going to be about an elderly librarian becoming friends (and then more) with an elderly patron....which is not at all what this book was about lol.
DESPITE the complete difference in my expectations, this book was fabulous! I loved the multiple POV's; this book reminded me of "The Reading List" which is one of my favorite reads of all time. I really enjoyed how this book engaged with classics and people who don't like those books - it didn't insinuate that they were dumb or lesser but really allowed for the enjoyment of multiple different kinds of books.
It was a super great, light-hearted read! No real big romance and romantic relationships, so I have many adults I know who would love this book.
