My Friends
by Fredrik Backman
Every time I put this down I was annoyed that I wasn’t still reading it. I absolutely adored this. Backman’s writing continues to be incredible. The story kept me so engaged I just couldn’t wait to know what happens next. It’s such a great tale about growing up, while simultaneously being a story of nostalgia. I especially enjoyed the recurring theme of showing how the characters viewed themselves and each other differently from one another. It just felt so real. I cried basically the entire time I was reading this, mostly because of the actual storylines, but also because of the beautifully tragic look on life and all that comes with it.
