emotional funny hopeful

4.5

A wonderfully funny and warm book with an interesting premise, and great and unexpected twists. It deals with heavy topics though an absurd situation. Every character has a fascinating story, and it really is a testament to empathy and understanding. My only complaint is that the ending dragged on a bit and for a few chapters I was thinking that the book should end there. But overall, absolutely loved it.

The Authour must have the kindest soul. The way all of these stories are intertwined so delicately and with so much love and empathy is truly astounding. I will never forget this novel it will stay with me and I will forever be so grateful for Fredrick Backman for creating it.

This is such a good book. You truly feel all the emotions reading this. The story is so light-hearted yet emotional yet funny and somehow serious at the same time. Only lost 0.5 because it took me forever to get through.
