"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.

"I'm so glad I stuck with it. The first couple chapters were a bit confusing. I listened to them twice. Once I figured out who was who and what was happening I was captivated. This book is about relationships- sisters, mother-daughter, husband-wife, business partners, best friends, life partners, and more. It was about grief and how grief is different for everyone. The mess that was left when Elliot died without a will and with considerable debt struck a familiar chord in my heart. I appreciated how this complicated feelings of grief for the characters. Although this sounds heavy, Gretchen Anthony was able to craft a story that dealt with these while being lighthearted and funny. I definitely recommend this book for people who might be dealing with a loss or a change as well as anyone who loves reading about bookstores."
