I typically enjoy Backman's book, but this one fell flat for me. While I enjoyed the nostalgic childhood storyline and it did have laugh out loud parts, I ultimately struggled to connect with any of the characters or the storyline.

An amazingly beautiful reflection on the purest of friendships that we form in our formative teen years and on the endurability, and fleetingness, of happiness and art.❤️❤️❤️
