There were so many moments that I enjoyed in this book. It was emotional and it was heartfelt, and it was also witty and lighthearted. 

I think anyone who picks this up will love it.

The characters are well developed, the story is engaging and there was an unexpected twist in the story that was well executed. Don't walk, run to pick this up, you will not be disappointed.

I would give this book 6 stars if it was possible. I absolutely loved it. It was so simple yet so profound. Backman has an immense talent to describe humans, with all our complexities and anxieties, but especially the way we express love. I’m having trouble finding the perfect words to describe this book, but I don’t think I can. This has easily become one of my favourites and I highly recommend it to everyone with a brain and beating heart.

Also, Estelle ❤️
