4.5 Stars!
This was a fun and sweet read. Definitely for fans of contemporary ya books. Penny Lane is easy to relate to as a girl who was cheated on by her boyfriend and wants nothing else to do with boys. The twist is that she actually finds a boy whom she likes but of course things are complicated since she started The Lonely Hearts Club and the members have sworn of dating. I loved The Beatles theme of the book and all the references too! And the cover is just too cool! It was a cute read for those looking for something light and breezy!

The Beatles were the ones to say "love is all you need," and when I read this book, love was all I had. I was loving every minute and every page with a passion! It was fantastic and has officially become one of my 2010 favorites. Elizabeth Eulberg may be a debut author, but her writing style and The Lonely Hearts Club are magic, no question about it!
Penny Lane doesn't exactly have a normal or what one may consider a typical home and family, but one thing she seems to have in common with just about every girl around is boy trouble, and she's got it in spades. With The Beatles as her inspiration, she just may have found a solution to all of her problems, and those of her friends.
I really can't find any negatives about this book, other than I wish it hadn't ended, ever! But in all seriousness, if you ask me, there aren't any negatives about this book, it was wonderful. It was funny, quirky, realistic and with The Beatles all over it, and all through it, what's not to love? Even the cover is brilliant, don't you think?
Eulberg has a fresh voice and I don't think she'll be going anywhere anytime soon. She spoke at the book festival I attended a while back and after meeting her, there's no question that her writing comes from the heart. Her personality is all over this book. While speaking to the crowd, she may have mentioned a sequel being in the works for The Lonely Hearts Club in the future, and I couldn't be more excited about that prospect...really I was jumping up and down!
After finishing The Lonely Hearts Club, I most definitely have not had nearly enough of Penny Lane and her club of close friends. Whether it's Tracy, Diane, Morgan, Rita, Ryan or Penny's parents, I just adored them all and most definitely did not want to say goodbye. If you've got a sense of humor and are looking to add a new favorite to your shelves, look no further, The Lonely Hearts Club is the perfect book for everyone!

Penny Bloom, the daughter of extreme Beatles fans, is a girl who after a horrible summer decides boys are the devil's spawns. She's tired of how boys treat her and other girls and says nothing good can come from scum ( Her other word for boys). So she makes up The Lonely Hearts Club, which members are Penny, herself, and her. It's a club that states that you will not date for the remaining of High School and will make time for yourself and for your friends. Penny thought that it would be a small club with just herself, but she isn't the only one tired of boys' actions. Soon the club is bigger then ever and really thats too bad because Penny just happens to find a boy she likes.

Eulberg has created a read that captures the way young girls today are thinking, but also shares that not ALL boys just want to get in your pants. I enjoyed it because I loved the club aspect. All friends together, helping each other with homework or a fundraiser for the basketball team. I just loved it. As my review title states, it's a read for all the broken hearted.
