There are not enough words to describe how much I love this book! It was both heart wrenching and heart warming. All the characters are relatable in some kind of way. Fredrik Backman's writing style was new for me, but I absolutely loved it. The beginning was slow but once it picked up I couldn't put it down.
Would highly recommend!
