I cried through this one. The Winners is the culmination of a hard story of an area beautifully told. I can't express how much my emotions fluctuated during this book. I appreciate how Backman keeps his characters nuanced. The great ending to a good series.

"tell your sons that if they have to think about whether or not they've had sex with a girl who didn’t want it then they have. If you can’t understand that the girl you’re having sex with wants it or not then you’ve never had sex with a girl who fucking wants it. Stop telling your daughters. We already know it all."
