Critics Review

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 * Nina George, author of The Little Paris Bookshop *
I was captivated by this tale of books, friendship and the search for happy endings * Woman & Home *
A heartwarming tale about literature’s power to transform * People *
A celebration of people who read to help them survive and thrive * Sainsbury’s Magazine *
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 * Lady *
