Such a beautiful small world story, the author does such a great job of making you like every character, even when you initially think they could possibly be one of the worst people you've ever encountered
The way Backman weaves stories together in fateful and intentional ways to create a plot that is both intriguing and endearing is masterful.
Obviously it's a Backman book, so you have to have your expectations calibrated. But I've read four of his now, and this was certainly the best. A very enjoyable read, and easier on the little quirks that bother me about his writing.
"We save those we can"
We're just idiots trying to save each other, doing our best and being good enough while we can. My heart is raw, wide and open in a way only Fredrik Backman can only make me feel. And a reminder that everyone has their own fear and something others love about them, if only they would sit down and talk (albeit in a hostage situation).

3.75 stars. Between this story and 'A Man Called Ove', Fredrik Backman has a way to really draw you into the characters. This one was a bit slow at times for me, but overall with the twists, it was a great story.
