This book made me emotional but not too much. It hurts to know what happened to some of the characters, even the one that was introduced in this book and taken away. Pacing is medium, my being slow is not the book’s fault but my busy schedule. But I admit the last 6 chapters are the ones I breezed through. I love the characters, everyone are likeable, even those that are not good.

This book is so highly relevant for all that is happening in european countries right now. I found it quite scary while on the other hand hopeful.

Backman did not disappoint, I'm not surprised. I loved this one just as much as "Beartown" if not more. Impeccable writing and story telling, the characters are deep, and their connections with each are meaningful and emotional. This is the kind of book that just speaks to my soul.
