Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman
3.0

"That is why I like you, Britt. You are also human."

It's a lovely story, and I really enjoyed getting to know quirky nag-bag Britt-Marie better, but I'm over Backman's common premise of the lovable band of weirdos that grow into an unlikely family. Make sense?

A Man Called Ove was just so good that, unfortunately, anything too similar is a letdown.
