This book is uniquely structured, more like a play than a novel. This is also a book that was originally written in Swedish, so I wonder how much got lost in translation. This also means there are some cultural differences. Personally, I didn’t care for the characters, who are written to be self-absorbed and selfish. Not my favorite book, but I think I am better having read it.

Älskar den här! Bara Jonas Hassen Khemiri kan skriva en gripande och komplex kärlekshistoria som samtidigt berör teman som klass, identitet och att att vara ung vuxen.
