A review by reydeam
The Deal of a Lifetime by Fredrik Backman

3.0

There is not much to say, and this book is definitely too short to give details, but I will say this novella, which read quickly (like within 30 minutes), was not at all what I was expecting. Actually, I do not know exactly what I was expecting, but this was not it. Maybe I was expecting warmth, and in some way, I got that, but I mostly found this story sad and lonely. My heart felt an aching need to grieve while also a desire to not grieve. I walked away from the book feeling a bit lost and wanting, as if the story was lacking. And yet, I was satisfied.
