I received an e-galley of The Lonely Hearts Book Club by Lucy Gilmore from Sourcebooks Casablanca via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

We love a good heartwarming story about book clubs, found family, and finding oneself in the stories read. The Lonely Hearts Book Club embodies all of these if you are looking for your next read that will make you laugh, touch your heart, and inspire you to join a book club.

In The Lonely Hearts Book Club, Sloane finds herself drawn to a grumpy and rude man who regularly frequents the library she works at. When he doesn't appear for a few days, she gets worried and decides to go check up on him - despite her boss specifically telling her not to. And thus starts the fraught beginning of the changes in Sloane's life as she finds herself continuously drawn and drawing in an unlikely cast of people who come together. What starts as gatherings under the pretence of a book club soon bonds the individuals together as they work through problems and challenges in their lives.

I loved each quirky, strange, lonely, and lovely character in this little book club. I thought that they each brought more to the story and the connections of the individuals to the books chosen for the book club were perfect and tied into their lives in which they could learn, grow, and discover more through it. I finished this story wanting more - in the best way - I wanted to continue their stories, and finding out what happens next for each of them.
