Another classic Fredrik Backman tale with lovable characters in tragic circumstances. I was a big fan of the character's relationships in this one, especially Louisa and Ted.
I will say, as we know, Backman loves to play little tricks on his readers. In this one, I think he over did it. There were so many tricks that it feels like we circled all the way around to the beginning, and I found myself kind of having to suspend my disbelief in ways I have not had to with his other books. If you do not like tricks you will not like this book.
