This is a book about a man who acts like he's coldhearted and doesn't care about anything or anyone after the death of his wife and does not want to continue living without her. But in reality, he's a man that has so much compassion and love. He, along with the rest of the cast in this book, crept into my heart and made permanent residence. I laughed, I cried, and I did both at the same time.

Backman is a genius and I continue to love his books time and time again.
