This book was not what I expected. I must admit that I did judge this book by its cover and it very much surprised me when I read it.
This book is funny, heart warming and inspiring tale of a group of people you would never expect to band together, banding together to save their beloved local community hall. In order to stop big developers from coming in and turning their gathering space into condos, a small group of townspeople come together to stage a Shakespeare play. Most of the book plays the towns characters as Shakespeare's most famous characters as one by one our narrator tells us how each one is alike. Every person in town has a backstory that led them to this moment and it is thoroughly enjoyable to learn more about each and every one of them.
You cannot help but root for this group of characters, they are funny and flawed and very real. I would recommend this book!
