Self help content wrapped up in an extremely unrealistic plot… I had trouble getting into it. Although there was a fair bit of character development, there were so many characters that I didn’t end up empathizing with any of them.

Backman, you scallywag, you did it again!

I'd been holding on to this one for a while, ad you try and sip the good stuff, not slurp it all in. This is yet another one of his books that fans shouldn't miss. The characters are astonishingly funny, the plot unexpectedly unique and the Backman-esque nuggets profoundly heartbreaking, funny but always insightful.

"That's the power of literature, it can act like little love letters between people who can only explain their feelings by pointing at other people's." ❤️

Edited to add: Rereading this 2 years after I first read it was just as good as the first time. I love this book so fucking much

—————-

Fredrick Backman is magic. His writing is truly earth shattering. This book made me laugh, cry, think, and reflect. It was clever and witty and full of humanity. It was a mixture of a comedy, a mystery, and character studies all mixed into one book, and I loved it.

You know when you finish a really good book, and that last sentence is short and simple but impactful and effectively wraps up the entire story? Well Backman finishes every chapter making you feel that way. I constantly wanted to keep reading, and for the last hundred pages, I kept thinking that each chapter would be the last because the last lines were always so intentional and perfect. I’ve never read another authors book that made me feel that way (and A Man Called Ove has the same quality!).

Also, Fredrik Backmans writing kinda reminds me of an adult Junie B Jones novel, which of course makes for such an enjoyable experience.

One of my favorite books of the year, I already want to reread. Can not recommend enough!
