i LOOOOOVED this book. Frederik Backman has such a way of combining humor and saddness, struggle and understanding into one complex package that highlights all the things in the spectrum of emotions. He gives you all of this while still supplying moments to breathe and rest within the story to recover. I would highly highly highly recommend this book to all people in all areas of their life and at all ages. There was a spectrum of challenges and ages affected by the plot. It is very special when you find a book that says “life is hard, and that is okay. It's okay to feel and to fall and to get up and try again. At least you'll get a good laugh out of it at some point.” Humble and powerful, I hope we many many more like this soon.
