Every sentence is a quote to linger on in this gem of a book by Fredrik Backman. There were moments I was laughing out loud crying, moments tears released and overall just felt a beautiful warmth and new appreciation for the beauty of humanity as a whole. Left me challenged to be a better human, keep connections alive and a gentle reminder that everyone has a story and a story and a story and all are worth sharing with others. Highly recommend this gentle, bold read.
