A review by shelfcarebyken
Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman

5.0

Backman proves to write perfect stories again and again and again. There hasn’t been one of his books that I’ve picked up yet and disliked it. Like all of his stories, this one has a grumpy/somewhat unlikeable protagonist and a fantastic cast of chaotic side characters that help our protagonist find the beauty in life. This made me smile, cry, and feel all the things you would expect to feel in a comforting Backman read.

Highlights:
• Found family trope
• Lovable characters
• Witty writing that makes you laugh
• Feels like a big hug
