I loved it. Made me laugh, made me cry and everything in between. Just wonderful.
"If you can be heard then you exist."
"Sometimes it's easier to go on living, not even knowing who you are, when at least you know precisely where you are while you go on not knowing."
Perhaps the first Fredrik Backman book that did not make me cry, but it could be that I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Britt-Marie Was Here offered all the classic Backman aspects: humor, emotion, pain, love, connection, separation all wrapped up in a lovely little novel.

This is my new favorite book. I love everything about Britt-Marie. I love how he writes her and her observations.
I really liked this book, it's funny and honest, full of kindness and truth. But most importantly, it just made me want to hug Britt-Marie. And yes, there are clearly parallels to be drawn with the main character in En man som heter Ove, it's not as if Backman has never done this kind of thing before but I honestly don't care because he does it so well.

I will read anything Frederik Backman writes. I love his characters and his writing style. This was a another fun one! Apparently Britt-Marie first appears in My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry, so I'll be reading that next.
I love @fredrick Backman - he is an amazing author. His stories are so colorful. They teach us a lesson and make us think about where or what we want out of life. I laughed, I cried.
I listened to this book. The narrator did a wonderful job with the voices, you felt like you really knew each of the characters.

I love this author. Love, loss, loyalty, laundry. And also soccer.
Wasn’t sure what to expect with this book, but man was it a tear jerker. Loved the ending and loved Britt-Marie ❤️
