People


This charming, book-loving story captures readers' hearts from the very first page.... This is a must-read for book lovers who enjoy a witty, feel-good story that goes beyond the surface.
Romance Times Review


(Starred review.) [A] delight.... Bivald fills the pages with book references, chief among them Austen and Bridget Jones, but it is her characters that will win readers over.... As in [Jane] Austen, love conquers but just who and how will come as a pleasant surprise.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review.) [A] heartwarming and utterly charming debut by Swedish author Bivald. This gentle, intelligent Midwestern tale will captivate fans of Antoine Laurain's The Red Notebook, Nina George's The Little Paris Bookshop, and Gabrielle Zevin's The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. An ideal book group selection, it reminds us why we are book lovers and why it's nice to read a few happy endings. —Susan Clifford Braun, Bainbridge Island, WA
Library Journal


In this sleepy charmer, a Swedish bookseller finds friendship, love, and more books in the small town of Broken Wheel, Iowa..... [I]f she and her neighbor Tom can admit their feelings for each other, she might be there for good.... [R]eaders won't want to leave Broken Wheel, either.
