This continuation of the storyline and characters only made me love them even more than I already did.
Compared to Beartown, this book follows more characters, both ones we already met and new ones. It picks up right where the first one left off, minus the parts where it flashes forward ten years. This book covers more aspects of life that I think more people need a realistic view on so they can actually learn from what they read. This book still had the many moments where I laughed and cried, thinking back, I think this one actually had more moments I left a sticky note on and wrote down the quote in my log. Fredrick Backman truly did it again and I can't wait for the third book.
