This book is one of my ultimate favorites. I do a re-read of it almost every year, and it gets better every time. With the Winners coming out I decided to re-read the series, and gosh, Fredrik Backman never disappoints. He is my idol, and I would claim the best writer of the modern age. His stories are captivating, inclusive, and heartbreaking. This is the first book I recommend to anyone. Its incredible. I love the characters, especially Benji and Ana. So good.
