The Book Haters' Book Club by Gretchen Anthony

You are selling the bookshop? 

You can’t do that.  It’s our legacy.

Irma and Elliott owned the Over the Rainbow Bookstore for years, but when Elliott died, Irma sold the store to a developer.

Her daughters, Laney and Bree, and Elliott’s partner, Thom, are definitely not in favor of the sale. 

They think there is something not quite right because the owner gave Irma a very below-market price.

They do investigating behind Irma’s back.

THE BOOK HATERS’ BOOK CLUB is unique because of the setup of the book.  

In between all the drama, we are treated to letters that Elliott was famous for writing to his customers and that give background information as well as his feelings and secrets from the grave.

At some point you will be asking yourself where this book is going, and you will find it goes many places and is quite clever.

The quirky characters were delightful and also pretty much a mess.

Lots of surprises hidden inside and characters that are keeping secrets.

The big question is:  Will they sell the bookstore?

And bigger yet...which book would you recommend to a friend or do you always recommend to a friend?

An enjoyable read with a great title....don't miss it.  4/5

This book was given to me by the publisher for an honest review.
