5.0

All I can say is this is a wonderfully brilliant book that everyone who feels a little bit lonely in life should read. Backman brings us into this book with an unexpected start and an even more unexpected ending. The chapters feels haphazard and everywhere but somehow still coherent and leading us to the final point. I loved the writing, the characters and the ending of the book. A very satisfying read that is emotional, somewhat mysterious and funny all at once.
