"This sparkling novel starts with high energy and unique characters that move from one surprise to another." —Ann Garvin, USA TODAY bestselling author

All it takes is the right book to turn a Book Hater into a Book Lover…

That was what Elliot—the beloved co-owner of Over the Rainbow Bookshop—believed before his untimely passing. He always had the perfect book suggestion for the self-proclaimed Book Hater. Now his grief-ridden business partner, Irma, has agreed to sell the cozy Over the Rainbow to condo developers.

But others won’t give up the bookshop without a fight. When Irma breaks the news to her daughters, Bree and Laney, and Elliot’s romantic partner, Thom, they are aghast. Over the Rainbow has been Bree and Laney’s sanctuary since childhood, and Thom would do anything to preserve Elliot’s legacy. Together they conspire to save the bookshop, even if it takes some snooping, gossip and minor sabotage.

Filled with humor, family hijinks and actual reading recommendations, The Book Haters' Book Club is the ideal feel-good read. It’s a love letter to everyday heroes—those booksellers and librarians dedicated to putting the right books in the right hands every day.

Cathartic Story

I liked all the different emotional aspects of the story, like real life! I didn’t like the narrator’s over pronunciation of “to”. It didn’t flow well during the reading.

I didn’t like this book at all

I finished it because I’m not a quitter. This book was boring. Maybe it was the narration but either way I’m glad it’s over.

Excellent story, terrible narration.

The story is funny and tender. The narration is choppy and forced. Narrator was grating.

A cute story and an easy read

I really enjoyed the intermissions, newsletter entries and other "ghostly interruptions" from Elliot.
I also really enjoyed all the book suggestions. I got a little excited when something I read was mentioned.

Happy ending - little twist and turns

The reading of the book was done very well. But the overall story of the book is kind of boring. I understand they’re struggling to keep the book store and the twist of one of the characters being married to each other, kind of boring though, but I finished it. I wouldn’t recommend and doesn’t really keep you wanting more.
