Backman is one of my favorite authors so I had this delivered on the day it launched. While I loved his reoccurring theme of the importance of community and finding a chosen family, this didn’t have the magic of some of the other books I’ve loved of his. I’m probably knocking at a couple points just because I know how much I’ve loved some of his other books and the characters that he created. If you’re looking for a back man to start with I would grab My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry.

Backman is one of the only authors to make me laugh and cry over the same paragraph. If you haven't read this yet you need to. Loved this book.
