bookmadbarlow 's review for:
My Friends
by Fredrik Backman
dark
emotional
reflective
sad
slow-paced
Seems like I am massively in the minority on this, but I struggled with My Friends. I've loved all of this authors other books, but this one just didn't give me the same vibe.
The story follows Louisa as she breaks in to see a painting and ends up meeting her idol, who then dies and she then ends up learning the story of the painting through the artists friend.
The story was so sad that even the humour and the lightness couldn't make up for the rest of the sadness for me.
The last section I enjoyed more, but there was a big chunk in the middle that dragged.
Maybe it was because I listened rather than read it.
