My comments: A beautifully character-driven novel. An incredibly mean old man. A librarian who only wants to please everyone. A super-smart gay young man who has dabbled in many professions, still not finding his passion. A huge, scowling young man with a heart of gold. A lonely mom who loes to cook, has no self-confidence and feels she has lost her only child. Add a few book discussions and lots of "feels" and you have this marvelous story about a book club of misfits. I really liked it a lot.
