The Book Haters' Book Club

 The Book Haters' Book Club by Gretchen Anthony, 352 pages.

Elliott, co-founder of Over the Rainbow Bookstore, had a special gift for recommending a perfect book to win over reluctant readers. This was the special talent he brought to the bookstore, but far from the largest reason why the people around him were crushed when he suddenly died. Then, less than a year later, his business partner Irma is selling the bookstore for a pittance to be replaced by fancy condos. Unfortunately for her (or fortunately?) there are other people who care about the store's fate and won't let it go so easily, including her own daughters and Elliott's partner Thom. They think there's something suspicious about this deal, and are willing to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of what's going on and save the store. 

I picked this one up on a whim when it came in with the new books at the library, and overall found it pretty alright. The characters were a little two-dimensional to carry this story, and the shocking twist was less shocking than I may have liked. Nevertheless, it was a pretty pleasant, easy read with some fun moments.
