The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina BivaldMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Once in a blue moon, you read a book that has nothing to do with you and you absolutely love it, right? That's what happened to me with this book: I was completely blown away.
I don't read/like romance books. I don't like chick-lit or what many people call "women's fiction"... and I loved this book. I love books about books, and "The Readers of Broken Wheel" does have a lot of talk about them: classics, romance, erotica, thrillers. There's a book suited to each one of the characters in this book.
When Sara Lindqvist arrives in Broken Wheel, Iowa to visit her pen pal Amy Harris, she finds out her pen pal died a few days before. The small town, which seems about to disappear (even the school moved to a bigger city) adopts her. And shy, awkward Sara makes them her new family. She starts giving her new friends books according to their personalities, and they're spot on. Her cataloguing of the books her friend Amy left has me considering suggesting her methods to a few libraries.
The rest of the characters are absolutely funny and adorable, and the almost final scene (no spoilers here, sorry. Go read the book!) had me laughing for hours.
This book is proof that you can change-yourself and people around you- all for the best.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
