3.5
tbh there's only two reasons why i decided to pick this book up:
- firstly, a friend of mine has recommended me this author a bunch of times and i told her i'd read some of his books one day
- secondly, since this novella is super short and im in a huge reading slump, i just thought it could be helpful
as for the story, it was both sweet and sad. maybe it was not super devastating or maybe i just avoided to cry because i was in front of my family during about 90% of my reading time. however, i did tear up and drop a couple tears, not gonna lie!
the main topics were nice, i liked how the author handled the theme of memory loss and giving your last goodbyes to people who are still alive. i guess at first the change of setting/pov can be a bit confusing and but after a couple switches you can understand how is it going.

too short to get the full effect of a fredrik backman novel, but still wonderful and made me cry
