This book took me a little bit of time to get into, but once I was there I was hooked. This book is not for the faint of heart and deals with serious themes. Backman did a fantastic job of seamlessly weaving multiple characters narratives into a compelling story.
Graphic: Rape
Moderate: Child abuse, Homophobia, and Suicidal thoughts
