4.08 AVERAGE


Another winner from Fredrik Backman with an ending I wasn't anticipating.

What a satisfying book. I love this author because your heart aches and fills up at the same time.

Annoying character couldn't stand it

A cute tiny little life for a cute tiny person.

Backman never disappoints. I especially loved the children in this book.
