I was expecting something else from this book. I know it came out first, but I kept comparing it to Backman's A man called Ove which is better in every way. A.J. Fikry character was so flat and boring, yes, he changed a little through the book but it was so fast paced and more based on events not on emotions. I didn't fell in love with other characters too. It kept me feeling weird feelings and I almost didn't wanted to finish reading it.
