Oh Ove—— I definitely felt all the feelings with this book everything from laughter, anger, frustration, irritation, sadness, and love.
To me this book is about the power of connections and not shutting yourself down to be able to connect. It’s also about grief, loss, love, friendship and allowing change.
—-only thing I didn’t like was how much Fredrik made the interactions with Jimmy largely about how fat he is and not kind descriptions either.
