Well, I guess I have to read everything Fredrik Backman has ever written now. Absolutely loved this chorus of characters and the visceral (re: not pleasant) feelings their decisions and experiences brought up for me. Could not have picked a more perfect ending in my opinion.

I would literally die for Maya, Ahmed, and Benji…in that order. Kevin can go fuck himself.
