📚 Review: In typical Fredrik Backman style - this made me sob. He makes you fall in love with the characters even before they become loveable, and really destroys every single part of you. This book was about the incredible impact someone can have on many lives, and was a great reminder that you don’t know what other people are going through. Every character was so loveable, and this book had so many heartbreaking pieces. I absolutely adored it and if you liked it, I think you’ll enjoy Nosy Neighbors by Freya Sampson, and All The Lonely People by Mike Gayle.
