This was a cute and humorous short read from Fredrick Backman. 

This is a story about a man named Lucas who just wants to eat Pad Thai, play his video game, and generally just be left alone. Unfortunately an abandoned frying pan upsets his life through a series of hilarious interactions with his neighbors and the people of his town.

The story gets a little too goofy at times but it’s still very fun and cozy. This is a pretty good choice if you’re looking for something that’s short and not too heavy of a topic. It’s a good palate cleanser type of read.
