4.08 AVERAGE


I was sure it was a 5-star, until the last 50 pages or so. I just felt it got a bit rushed, though I do like the ending :) I have read 2 Backman books and adored both, so I'm definitely going to read more from this author.

I have no idea why it took me so long to read this book after reading Beartown. I absolutely loved this book. I giggled and I empathize and I cried.

I never ever wanted this book to end. This was an odd ball heroine that I was 100% behind and completely in love with. So far it's my favorite of all of his books.

I really enjoy Backman's writing style. This was one of the sweetest books that I have read. I loved Britt-Marie and how she adjusts to the changes in her life.

A very sweet fish out of water story. Initially, many of the characters are a bit irritating, but they grow on you. The book is definitely character driven and the author does a good job developing them.

This book was good. I liked the characters and how this was not like the usual plot. Age doesn’t matter and sometimes you just have to go out into the world and live a life.
