A review by stephanie_willis
Things My Son Needs to Know about the World by Fredrik Backman

4.0

“So it’s without superpowers that you come home from the hospital with your newborn child and feel utterly abandoned and terrified. You look at the hospital staff as they discharge you from the maternity ward like they’re leaving you to die in the desert. Like they’re refusing to open the door to that village of survivors at the end of I Am Legend and just letting the zombies catch up to you.”


This was such a fun, lighthearted feel good book. It wasn’t much of a story, but rather Fredrik Backman’s thoughts about life and parenthood written for his son. And if you have read any of his other books, you know he is fun and quirky.
I definitely laughed and cried and just enjoyed the feel good read!
