A review by babayagareads
The Deal of a Lifetime by Fredrik Backman

3.0

I think maybe my expectations for Backman have gotten a little too high. If I could attribute a 2.5 to this, I would. It's okay. The illustrations are beautiful, which definitely helps. I don't know that it had the same woven flow that we have seen in his other works. It also seems weird to me that this is a Christmas book, considering the only thing concerning the holiday is the actual date. This could have taken place at nearly any other time of year, probably working best with it being the winter time, but still, that kind of irked me. This is not a necessary read for EVERYONE, but only for people who have read a lot of Backman, who enjoy him, or want a very short novella to cozy up with (and for that purpose, this book actually works pretty well).
