A Groovy Kind of Love by Karen Wojcik Berner #bookReview

Uptight British lit lover meets a free spirit at a book club and his world is turned upside down!
After placating to his father’s demands that he play Little League baseball and major in computer programming in college rather than his beloved English literature, Thaddeus assumed that several years into his career, he would finally get some peace and quiet.

Then he met Spring Pearson, the younger, free-spirited daughter of Hippie parents, at a book club meeting. Instantly smitten, Thaddeus finally worked up the courage to ask Spring out. But will an old college pinkie-swear promise Spring made fifteen years ago get in the way of this bibliophilic romance?

”A Groovy Kind of Love” is the third and final installment of Karen Wojcik Berner’s Bibliophiles series. Written as stand-alone novels, each book focuses on one or two members of a fictional suburban classics book club, revealing their personal stories while the group explores tales spun by the masters.

My review:
First off, you don’t need to read the other two books (but based on this one I’m definitely going to be picking them up). I am not a huge contemporary romance fan but something about this book and blurb made me want to read it. I’m glad I did because it wasn’t your typical contemp. Although the beginning was long and full of backstory, I was actually glad the author took the time to tell it because it helped understand the characters in Part 2. As a book reviewer and obsessive reader (to put it lightly) I love that each book is based around a book club. Such an awesome concept. This is definitely a book you want to take the time to read.
