4.9.2023 - The Lonely Hearts Book Club

The Lonely Hearts Book Club by Lucy Gilmore 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful book by Lucy Gilmore - 5 stars!

Sloane is a librarian in a small town, engaged but not really in love, and without enough friends to act as bridesmaids in the wedding her in-laws insist on. When curmudgeon Arthur, whom she engages with at the same time every day, fails to show up for a few days, she becomes worried.  Against the rules, she looks up his address in the library system and goes to see if he is okay.  She meets Arthur's neighbor who tells her that he's run off all the home nurses because of his attitude.  Eventually, Sloane creates the Lonely Hearts Book Club.

I adored this book and the members of the book club.  A book about books is always high on my list, but this one will really tug at your heart.  The book club members are all struggling with love and loss, and come together to form their own small community.  It's a story about being true to your feelings and being there for others.  A must read!
