I'm somewhat in two minds about a lot of this book... It was really beautiful, like really really gorgeous. But equally, it was so wordy! - at times the beauty of it felt maybe a little overdone, by labouring the points a it too much? I don't really know how that could be reconciled though, and I also don't know how much is a translation thing! It was, as with Beartown, an incredible exploration of a whole town - albeit with a few too many characters at times - and a really interesting look into a world I know nothing about. It was also fascinating in the ways that it looked at nuance, at the ways that good people do bad things, and how maybe there is no such thing as a good or bad person.

I am, however, gonna die salty about that ending

Comes nothing short of part 1. I was hooked. 
I still can't get my head around how every character in this series is a fully fledged human, because there are a lot and I feel like I know them all. Fredrik Backman did an immaculate job here.

This book had way more political aspects than the previous one in the series and still not quite sure if I liked that or not. This book was also very very sad and depressing for a long time and that was a bit too much for me. It took 300 pages to finally get to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I did really like the themes of (found) family and unconditional love, friendship, sexism/feminism and lgbtqia+. This book was definitely an emotional rollercoaster.
