I feel like there aren't a whole lot a books in a person's life where they can say. Yes, this was a true masterpiece with no flaws. Well, this book was one of them.

This book was a straight up masterpiece that left me staring at the ceiling for an hour and a half thinking about life.
Backman's writing style, how he connect each character to one another AND the stories the grandmother was telling, was such an amazing thing to read. And the characters were also we'll developed. It was a treat to read.

I sadly did not care for this book. I didn’t care for the story within the story and unfortunately, I did not connect with any of the characters.

This book is funny, sweet, and thought provoking. It has some of the best lines ever, most of them from an almost eight year old. My favorite book of this year and also one of my all time favorites! Thank you, Net Galley for the ARC!!!
