Super quick (like... 15 mins quick) read. I’ve only read one other novella (by the same author), and I kind of like this method of storytelling! Quick, to the point, high impact. This one was good, but I liked his other novella much better. No tears with this one, which is a first for me with any of Backman’s books (or novellas).

Not what I was expecting.
It was a short story

No rating as I feel the book is too short to give a proper rating, but this short story is beautiful and everything Backman writes is gold❤️
