Backmans writing in AMCO toes the right side of the -saccharine sweet / cloyingly sweet line- but this one falls FAR into the cloying side. This book feels like it was created from a bunch of quotes / overly wholesome sayings. After the first 1/3, the ‘plot’ and pacing fell apart and the repetition of the art quotes, friend quotes, life & love quotes got too much. This book was sickly sweet or cringy 95% of the time. The characters dont act like actual human beings, they are like the hallmark movie versions of people.
