I saw this book on the display table at the library. I have been really interested in books about book clubs lately. I think it's because I really miss my book club and because I love to get suggestions of other books based on what the club is reading. I have to say I was throughly disappointed in this book.
In the book, a young librarian is supposed to find a way to keep the library open while the city council is threatening to cut funding. Someone suggests a book club and this is her idea of how to get more people into the library. This book was filled with horrible cliques and even more horrible dialog. So many of the things in the book just seemed forced and the ideas seemed so predictable and cheesy. For example, how can you be a librarian in the town for 7yrs and not have your best friend get a library card until the library is threatened to be closed? And how is making a bouquet of balloons the most brilliant idea anyone has ever heard?
This book could have been so much more, but it was quite possibly one of the worst books I have ever read. Another bummer, in the 5 month time frame of the book club, only 2 books were read and discussed. So I didn't even get any new book suggestions. Not recommended, unless you are interested in seeing how bad it is....
