Worried it was going to be a carbon copy of a Man Called Ove at first. But it turned around and did it’s own thing. Phew. I liked it a lot. If you’re looking for fast read, and a feel good book, I’d definitely read this one.

A sweet book. Enjoyed the story but some of the characters are a liitle stereotypical. All the young characters speech sounds like it was written by a boomer who doesn’t spend much time around young people
