The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald

1/7/2016

 
Picture
Sara travels all the way from Sweden to Broken Wheel, Iowa to spend holiday with her pen pal Amy only to arrive just after Amy's funeral.  Given this unexpected turn of events, Sara isn't sure what to do but the residents of Broken Wheel are determined to make their only tourist comfortable. Sara decides to honor her friend and give back to the Broken Wheel community by opening a bookstore, which confounds the people of Broken Wheel.  Sara brings something special to Broken Wheel and it doesn't take long for her to shake things up in the small town.

There are several colorful and interesting characters in this book that have their own stories which are just as compelling as the main character's journey.   

All of the characters are richly developed, relatable and unique.  I was very impressed that The Readers of Broken Wheel was the author's debut and felt her writing and story development were excellent.   She captured the small town feel perfectly.  I especially enjoyed the inclusion of Amy's letters which enabled me to identify with her character as well.  The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a feel good book and an enjoyable read.  I would recommend this book for book clubs since there are so many diverse characters to discuss and it is a real tribute to books and reading in general.  

I received this book from Sourcebooks Landmark through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
