OVERVIEW
This is the first book by Lucy Gilmore that I have read. From her bibliography, it appears that she writes a diverse set of genres!
This was not historical fiction which is my favorite, but a contemporary fiction book. It was based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho which is such a beautiful location in the United States. The book moves from the library as the main location to various characters' homes, businesses, and other locations.
These characters find out the real meaning of friendship and family. As I have personally learned, friends can be more important in your life than blood relations. Also, I love that the ending to this sweet book was reasonable and not tied up in a perfect bow!
Interestingly, this is the first book that I can EVER remember changing from an audiobook to an ebook because I thought that I would enjoy it better!!!
REVIEW: 4.0 stars
Writing: 4.0 stars
The Lonely Hearts Book Club is a lovely book that reads nicely without a lot of work on the reader's part. It is written beautifully for pure enjoyment!
Character development: 4.0 stars
This novel has two main characters with a small group of supporting characters. The two main characters go through some life changes that make them better human beings than before they met each other. It was so very nice!
Storyline: 4.0 stars
The main plot twist was a little unbelievable, but I rolled with it. I don't think that most people would do what the female main character did, but some people would so it COULD happen.
Book cover: 3.5 stars
Kind of boring.
Book title: 3.5 stars
The title The Lonely Hearts Book Club is kind of misleading. I did not like it.
Gut feeling: 4.0 stars
I was right on the money as to what I would think of this book!
Definite RECOMMEND
