So much love and so much loss. A worthwhile read that makes me want to revisit the full Beartown trilogy.
The whole trilogy sounds awfully quaint, and I guess it is, but I liked it a lot.
This just might be the best one in the Bear Town series. Backman at his finest.

I am still crying.
"This hurts too much to touch with words."
I knew what was coming, and when it happened I still wasn't ready. This has been one of my slowest reads in a while because I didn't want it to end, so I was rationing it for myself. Fredrik Backman is my favourite author, he has yet to write something that hasn't made me cry, I think it's because of the way he is able to fully capture the likeness of real people; they aren't just three dimensional characters, they are real people - even the minor characters.
Benji now officially stands as my favourite character ever written in fiction.
Will read again, with wine, tissues, and ice cream.

Best book I have read thus far in 2023. Again, a great writing style by Mr. Backman and a fun story. Overall great series.
