THE READERS OF BROKEN WHEEL RECOMMEND by Katarina Bivlad I love the idea of opening a used bookshop in a tiny town to share books and encourage its residents to discover the magic of reading. It’s the same reason why we have a little free library in front of our home. Books are tangible magic! As much as I wanted to love this book, it was disappointing. The pacing was tedious. The characters were stereotypical and/or bland. I struggled to stay engaged with the story. That said, there were some good (albeit contrived and predictable) moments, but not enough to make a difference overall. Note: The author gives away the endings to quite a lot of the books mentioned in the story (rude!) so read with caution or consult the list of books mentioned in the back before reading. Rating: 2/5 ⭐️

Loved it

Its a fun, sweet story about finding love, community and a place to fit in

Delightful and fun. A book you can curl up on the couch with a cup of tea.

From the very beginning I was pulled into the lives of Sarah and Amy. The humor of a small town mentality and a foreign visitor was delightful. Highly recommended.

For book lovers

A great read. Light, full of hope. Especially if you liked "The Little Paris Bookshop" or "The Storied life of A. J. Fiery.

This has become one of my favorite summer reads. The story is engaging, sufficiently complicated to remain interesting, and the literature references are delightful. I enjoyed the book so much that I purchased the author's other two books.
