It did take me a little longer to connect and I felt like the second half of the book was spectacular and really captured the lightning in a bottle feel that Backman had with book one.
It is tough to read at times, but my god does Backman have a way of capturing complexities and feeding them to us in a way that feels entirely relatable.
