I'm always so torn on whether I like Fredrik Backman books or not. There's always a ton of hype around anything he authors. But I'm still on the fence. I loved the story here, it was quirky, cute, hopeful, sad, happy, all the things. I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I'm just not sure if I vibe with the writing style. I feel like sometimes he tries too hard to be quirky and it just makes me roll my eyes. All in all, I'm still on the fence on his books so I'll probably end up picking up another one if I'm being honest. A big shrug emoji is all I can conjure up anytime I read him.
