Sophia (Bookwyrming Thoughts) (530 KP) rated The Bookworm Crush in Books

Jan 23, 2020

The author/publisher provided a free copy of the book for review purposes - thank you! Receiving a review copy does not guarantee a positive review and therefore do not affect the opinion or content of the review.

I don't know how The Bookworm Crush got crushed out of my radar, but apparently it did until last month and aren't we glad this landed into my radar?

Because in this house, we stan books that are purely bookish, with references that will bring nostalgia on a nice and shiny platter. (My favorites from middle school! The OGs of YA I --!!!)

We also stan books with:

4 friends decide to start a book club after getting the idea from a magazine. 40 years later, despite going their separate ways they still get together for book club every month.
After months of boring books, one lady decides that they will now read 50 shades of grey. After disagreements they agree to take it on and an emergency book club meeting is called once its been read. This is where they agree to try and reignite their sex lives.
I thought the movie had a couple of funny moments and when the friends were together, it reminded me of sex and the city, but with older women. Sadly when the group were separate it failed to hold my attention for very long, which is a shame as it had a few familiar faces such as Jane fonda, who I loved In grace and frankie. I don't know if it would have worked better with younger people but it wasn't for me.
