Review: The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend - Katarina Bivald
I randomly picked this up at the library, because it was marked as “something like Jojo Moyes” and I was in the mood for something lighthearted and easy. The book is about a young woman, Sara, from Sweden, who is pen-pals with an elderly lady from Broken Wheel, a small town in USA. They both love books and this is how they became acquainted. They decide that Sara should come visit her, but while Sara is traveling, Amy, the elderly lady dies. Sara decides to stay on in the town anyway, as she hasn’t got anything to do back home, and to keep herself busy she opens a bookshop with all of Amy’s books. The townsfolk decided that they like her and Sara really likes it there too, so the townsfolk get up a crazy plan to get her to stay with them. This book was okay. It was certainly lighthearted and easy, but perhaps a little too much so. Sara reminded me of myself, but even so I had a hard time connecting to her. The same goes for pretty much everyone else in the boo...
