The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg

The Lonely Hearts Club by Elizabeth Eulberg

by Thea Ong - Gleneagle Secondary, Coquitlam BC Jun 8, 2010

4 stars

Penny Lane is a junior in high school and is sick and tired of being treated like trash by boys. Her solution? Swear off dating - and thus the revolutionary Lonely Hearts Club is born.

Eulberg's debut novel is a lighthearted, fun read for girls the world over. While not the work of a literary genius, the book is quirky and charming all while teaching the values of self-worth and self-confidence.

The multiple Beatles references add to the meaning of the book instead of distracting from it, though the reader need not be a Beatles aficionado to understand the book.

Penny Lane is an adorable heroine who undergoes internal struggles about life and love, which is something that most teenage girls can relate to.

Overall, The Lonely Hearts Club is a thoroughly entertaining and mildly enriching read peppered with positive lessons of self-respect.
