Resumen del Editor

Librarian Janet Johnson is puzzled when she is invited - and practically dragged - to her first meeting of the Rejected Writers' Book Club. This quirky group of women would much rather celebrate one another's rejected manuscripts over cups of tea and slices of lemon cake than actually publish a book. But good friends are exactly what Janet needs after moving to the small town of Southlea Bay, Washington. Just as the ladies are about to raise a teacup to their five hundredth rejection letter, they receive bad news that could destroy one member's reputation - and disband the group forever. To save the club, Janet joins her fellow writers on a wild road trip to San Francisco in search of the local publisher who holds the key to a long-buried secret. As they race to the finish line, they'll face their fears - landslides, haunted houses, handsome strangers, ungrateful children - and have the time of their lives.

Entertaining Story About Writers

A small town librarian, Janet Johnson is persuaded to attend a gathering of local eccentric lady writers known as “The Rejected Writers Bookclub,” she gets pulled into crazy adventures she never thought she would be involved in. The club collects publisher's rejection letters like trophies, this quirky society cares nothing for being in print and instead meets to celebrate in style its members' mutually spurned manuscripts. They are just shy of their 500th letter and a huge club celebration so the women in the club go on a trip to get the rejection letters they need and leave on a crazy cross-country trip.
If I started a club like this it might be called "The Procrastinator's Not Finishing Story Club". I'm stopping after each chapter I write to read or listen to another book.

Adorable

Sometimes you come across a book that just touches you. As a writer this was one of those books. Rich in warm likable characters that charmed you, made you laugh out loud. Found myself just simply enjoying the journey these ladies took me on. Warm and fresh and different.

Very funny book!

I did not expect to laugh so much whem I started this book. I was entertained throughout the entire book.

Funny

When i first go this book i thought it was like a cozy mystery. However, it is more like a silly comedy. I loved it. It has a slow start but once it got to rolling it was a hoot. It was silly, fun entertainment. I could do more in this series. The narrator did a great job with the characters.

Wonderful story!

Great, sweet, and endearing story that gave me over 12 hours of joy. Definitely recommended!

Rejected writers please reunite

loved it! It started out slow. Had I been reading the book I may have put it down. I was listening while I was sewing so I am more tolerant. I laughed so hard at times tears ran down my face. I love these women and wanted more when I finished the book

What fun!

This was a fun book with a lot of silly moments. If you are looking for a light hearted read, this is your book. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

Lots of laughs from start to finish

These ladies are relatable and quirky. The storyline is engaging. I can't wait to dive into the next book!

Charming idea

I loved the idea here, but some of the characters bordered on ridiculous (in a good quirky way). I might read the other books in the series.

Fun! Quick

It was over before I knew it. It was quick but so was the pace and the wit.
Good book to listen to while cleaning house or working in the yard. It’s light but holds you. You can escape into it a spell.
