I love Backman’s writing style, and I really really wanted to love this book, but I didn’t. I think I just didn’t connect with the characters very well. And maybe I just don’t appreciate art as much as I should 😂. I also felt like the kids didn’t act like actual 14 year olds. They were too wise, and it made the story kind of unbelievable to me. No one talks like any of the characters in real life.
