‘BLIND DATE BOOK CLUB’ PUTS FAVORITE HALLMARK STAR IN ROMCOM
Blind Date Book Club leans into book themes complete with a small and quaint Nantucket bookstore. Plus it has a favorite Hallmark face, too.
Blind Date Book Club (2024) Hallmark TV Film Review
Keeping the family bookstore running is not the passion of Meg (Erin Krakow). She once lived in Boston working in real estate, but not she wants to bring interest and new life to the store. She does this by creating a blind date with a book club. She wraps books, writes and clue, and hopes readers go on a journey they don’t soon forget.
Graham (Robert Buckley) is a talented writer and author with many books to his name, thing is, he’s trying to reinvent himself and write in a new genre. His publisher doesn’t agree, and so Graham becomes Dylan and decides to self publish and hopes that this new name and style will be something the right reader will find. When he walks into Meg’s store, it just may be the unexpected change both of them never knew they needed.

One of my least favorite tropes, miscommunication, is used here, but the script doesn’t linger with it. So I respect that change. The themes of reading and books is fun, especially for someone like me who has, even in times (like now) when I don’t read, always loved books.
The cast has cute chemistry, too. Must to my surprise, I actually did enjoy Erin in this role and did find she and Robert fun together. They share some scenes together that feel genuinely “easy” and as if they aren’t acting out a scene. This is something we always want to see in a pairing so I’m glad this film gets that right. At least it does for me.
Cute and romantic with lessons to teach its characters, Blind Date Book Club is darling just as you’d expect from this network.

Content: nothing to note outside of the usual TV-G rating. There’s a kiss or two and some miscommunication but the film doesn’t overstep its usual themes.
