I love how many characters you get to look into and see how an event and sports team has such a big impact on so many people’s lives. I knew nothing about hockey going into this, but you don’t need to with Backman’s writing.

_tink_'s review against another edition

Upon reading some spoilers, I discovered that one of the main topics of this book is r*pe and I don’t think I’m ready to read something like that where I’m at right now.
