Poignant and unique! Wow! I was so happy with this read! Backman’s writing style is so modern and fun! He leaves you on the edge of your seat without feeling stressed!
All of the interwoven threads within this book is exactly how reading should be experienced. I loved how each character had their own demon to fight through. It showcases the beautiful chaos that is being human. I never thought I would enjoy a book about a hostage situation quite so much!
