Penny Lane Bloom is sick of dating boys. All they do is cause her trouble and heartbreak. She vows to date no more for the next two years, until she graduates from high school. Penny decides to start a club: The Lonely Hearts Club (yep, like the Beatles).
The club soon has multiple girls joining. These girls have also realized that they are changing themselves to get the guy, only to get hurt in return. Things change after an article in the school paper though, and Penny doesn't like how she is now known for having the "lonely heart."
Besides, there is this one boy...
This was an amazingly written debut novel. I loved every minute of reading, and I could not stop until I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. The characters were fun and unique. The plot was totally original, which made the story even better.
The Beatles references weren't over-done. It seemed like there were a lot of main characters, but that was okay, because the plot flowed nicely, and I got to know each character pretty well.
Overall, THE LONELY HEARTS CLUB was very enjoyable and extremely cute. It is a great book about the meaning of friends, especially while in a relationship. A great debut!

16 year old Penny Lane is tired of boys who make her feel like she's stupid. After being disappointed by a guy she knew and had feelings for since they were kids Penny decides to form The Lonely Hearts Club and to just concentrate on herself for the rest of highschool. At first she is the only club member but soon more and more girls want to join.
What will Penny do when things surrounding the club get more and more complicated and when a cute guy becomes more and more interesting?
When I started reading "The Lonely Hearts Club" I feared that the book could be a bit too young for me however it wasn't. Elizabeth Eulberg's writing style was very engaging and I was happy that she didn't use too much teenage language. And themes like love, friendship and self-worth are interesting for all age groups.
I especially enjoyed reading about the heroine of the book. Penny Lane is a normal 16 year old girl, she is very likable and I enjoyed how she handled her life. Her development throughout the book was fascinating and great. The way she kept the club together and never lost the happiness of her friends out of her sight was heart-warming. I also enjoyed that the club concentrated on helping the girls become more confident. It wasn't about something like sex is bad but about concentrating on yourself and doing what you enjoy.
All in all I was positively suprised by "The Lonely Hearts Club" and think that it's a very cute, funny and lovely book for teens and adults.

I like it because it fits to the book and I like the Beatles reference.
final appraisal
I was suprised at how well the story worked for me. Although most of the main characters are only 16 the book didn't feel too young. I enjoyed reading about The Lonely Hearts Club and think that Penny Lane was an amazing heroine. The way themes like friendship, love and being disappointed by boys were portrayed made this book very entertaining and lovely.

Format:Hardcover
This book should be a staple in every secondary school library - not only is it the perfect book to empower teenage girls, it will also teach the boys out there a thing or two about what not to do! I'd love to see this on the big screen too - I mean, remember that song from Hot Chick : "Boys are cheat and liars, they're such a big disgrace..."? That song surfaced in my mind while I was reading this!
Ladies, admit it - at some point in our very colourful lives, we thought it best to swear off boys completely...or at least tried. How wonderful it could have been nursing a broken heart with not one, not two, but a whole club of girls who has been through the exact same heartache! Penny Lane's Lonely Hearts Club started as a one-person club, but its universal representation glues together ready to empower themselves and be there for each other. I wish there was a club like this when I was in school, because I'm sure it would have been needed - but since I did not have one, what a joy to read about it now!
Lonely Hearts Club is more than just a novel about swearing off boys or Venus alienating Mars. There is a strong theme about dedicated friendships, extending one's helping hand to others, trust and reconciliation and discovering who you truly are.
Penny is a great narrator and an inspirational person. I admire how strong she really is - I realised that while I thought I was strong, Penny stood defiant in cases where I would have just gone pliant and stupid. Her conflicting emotions and thought-process are recognisable, and her openness very admirable. Her friends Tracy and Diane are alive in every girls' heart and her fellow club mates make one cool club! The solidarity and support they all give to each other are more than a girl's dream. And of course, I think I should mention the boys too. You'll meet the jerks, the flirts, the mysterious, the cheaters, the ex-es and the swoon-worthy male specimen in the Lonely Hearts Club too - the girls will guide you through, worry not, and I'm sure you'll love the boys that do pass the inspection!
One other strong theme in the book are The Beatles. There is a lot of crazy Beatles references, and Penny's parents are the number one fans. It's hilarious!
Lonely Hearts Club is a meaningful book - girls, you have to read this book! Boys - don't worry, if you behave we still adore you :)

Feel-good, funny and a great message for girls
You know how the term `feel-good' is applied to certain movies? I don't know how often it's used to describe books, but if any book were to fit the definition, it would be The... Read more
