Reviews for The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend
A charmingly offbeat, genuinely amusing novel... the perfect summer read
Stylist
Katarina Bivald has written an absolutely delightful, charming book that celebrates the healing power of friendship and love often found in small towns. The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish, and I could not recommend it more highly
Fannie Flagg, author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
This adorable book is a peach. It's built on the same lines as Cold Comfort Farm or Chocolat... Wise, thoughtful, funny, warm, moving; all that stuff and more
Wendy Holden
Daily Mail
This is a story about community, about being needed and about belonging... A warm, cosy, compassionate read
Independent
A manifesto for booksellers, booklovers, and friendship. We should all celebrate these little bookstores, where our souls find home... one of these books you want to live in for a while

A heartwarming and utterly charming debut... This gentle, intelligent Midwestern tale will captivate... An ideal book group selection, it reminds us why we are book lovers and why it's nice to read a few happy endings
Library Journal, starred review
Bivald encourages us to look for adventure in both literature and life... Charming

An international bestseller, this quirky, offbeat novel about books, with its wry humour and wonderful characters, is a delicious read
Choice Magazine
Charmingly original....sweet, quirky
Washington Post
This is a charming novel for book lovers from all walks of life... As you journey through the pages, weaving Little Women, Harry Potter, Jodi Picoult, Jane Austen, Steig Larsson and Proust around the storyline, you'll find yourself rooting for the beautifully drawn characters, smiling at the wry humour and applauding the ending
