I’m pretty sure that Fredrik Backman is my favorite author. His books are full of complex characters and the plot is not always guessable. This one was a quality story right from the start. People at an apartment open house are taken hostage by a bank robber. But these strangers start to connect with each other and in doing so, they have the potential to help the bank robber. But will they?
