Is anything Backman writes NOT perfect?

I loved everything about this novella, but I’m struggling to find the words (NOT an issue Mr Backman has).

I’ll come back and add to this when I can gather my thoughts.

THIS BOOK!!! I have way to many words I could say about this book and they would be coming to you out of breath and through a wall of tears. This novella for me is a modern classic that deserves to be studied and broken down. It was so compact and dense, but one of the smoothest reads I've ever experienced. It's one of those books that no matter what, you should read. If you are able to, I'd say pick it up right now and give it a read. There's no reason not to like this book, and a millions reasons to absolutely love and adore it. I'm going to re-read and re-read and re-read.  ❤️

Nope. This is more like one of these popular pseudopsychological prose that is supposed to be uplifting, therapeutical and, I don´t know, charming, perhaps? It´s not psychological, it´s not philosophical... it´s popmental. There! I just created a new word to describe this very annoying trend whose popularity is on the rise.

I like the drawings.

This was heartwarming and shattering at the same time.
As a person who works with people who have dementia, this is so beautiful to me. I am kind of speechless.
