I loved, loved, LOVED this book with my whole heart 🥹💕I love how Backman is able to tell a story with such layered characters that is funny yet heartbreaking yet hopeful yet sorrowful… and all of the things all at the same time. So many times I caught myself reading a line that either I had thought before or put words to something I’d experienced but didn’t know how to vocalize. And, of course, I sobbed at the end because I always do that when I read a Backman book. If you like Fredrik Backman, or are interested in/affected by mental health in any way, I highly recommend this book (I know not everyone likes his writing style but I love it!). Remember- you are not alone, you are loved, and you deserve to be here 💛
