This book wasn't an enjoyable read for me, to be completely honest. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed aspects of it, but I didn't enjoy the experience. So many love Backman and his story and writing, but it is not my cup of tea. This story is difficult and took a lot of concentration and energy to read. I do know this book is very loved. A dear friend, who has similar tastes to me loves it.
