This was an absolutely gorgeous read and Backman is becoming a favourite of mine. I sometimes think I'm horribly emotional and sensitive when I read these books, but by the end of it, I realise the beauty in emotion and how the pain hurts but heals. Love love love this.

I decided to listen to this as an audiobook and I’m honestly glad I did. It was a sweet story and I love the relationship Elsa had with Granny. Everyone should get to experience that kind of relationship. However, as a story told through the mind of an almost 8 year old, it was a little bit hard for me to follow. I would recommend this one though!
