amykett 's review for:

Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman
4.0

I read this for the M Judson reading challenge, which requires a Swedish book in January. It also manages to get a physical book off my TBR shelf, so that's a bonus. I enjoyed this book like I enjoy most Backman books, tearing up when I am supposed to despite the fact that I can feel myself being emotionally manipulated (not in a bad way, you can just see the mechanics that are tugging at your heartstrings). This felt very much like Ove, female version. Better than Anxious People, can't touch Beartown.
