About midway it went in a direction I had not anticipated, and I felt the main character changed at that point for no reason. And yet, the story had a nice message and resolution so I don’t want to overly disparage it. I was in the mood for something relatively lighthearted, and in the end, this was that.

I’m just… blown away. I love how English this book was; I love this lost middle-aged man; I love this author who exudes Fredrick Backman levels of narrative skill and humor. Absolutely floored me how such a simple story could become so complex, emotional, down-to-earth, and even end with a bit of a twist! Reminds me why I love contemporary novels. Think “A Man Called Ove” + “Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine”. As with any novel that explores sensitive themes, be sure to check the trigger warnings.
