The Winners by Fredrik Backman
5.0
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH STARS IN THE UNIVERSE TO DESCRIBE HOW THIS SERIES FUCKED ME RIGHT IN THE EMOTIONS, NO LUBE.
I have not felt THIS emotionallly wrecked since I read "a little life"
And that was top-tier panic-attack-inducing, chest caving-in crying, and this was a VERY close second cry incident for me.
Frederik Backman is a legitimate genius when it comes to foreshadowing and compelling story writing.
I felt stressed to my fucking core, this whole book.
Because of fucking ominous foreshadowing that begins in book 1, and DOES NOT LET UP UNTIL 92 FUCKING % OF BOOK 3.
Frederik Backman is an artist of words.
As you are heading through these books, none of the small stories he offers you are really a cohesive plot.
They are more like.... small side quests for each side character.
And you can't see the whole image..........
But when you step back and look at the larger picture, YOU SEE HIS UNIVERSE.
(and holy hell, it's equal parts evil, equal parts magnificent.
