This was a very sweet and lovely read.

What did I just read? I enjoyed the first part of the book, but then it went all downhill for me. Was not interested in it at all.

Good writing, good characters, some be dry good moments, however it wasn’t my favourite. 2.5 stars.

The oddest little read. I burned through it, and am still trying to figure out what I read. I’m between a 3 and a four—I’m intrigued and was invested, but never wowed.

I read another review that said ‘there are stories that make you feel everything’ and I think that encapsulates Backman’s writing perfectly. He’s just so good.

My first book by this author—a bookclub pick. It took me awhile to get into it, but I did, and ended up liking it. Particularly because of some of the great dialogue between the characters.

Hannah has such a great way of writing that makes me emotionally invested in her characters. Great read.

Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. It was a little slow, some repetitive scenes, but the story was intriguing. Francis was endearing and I liked rooting for him.

This was such a beautiful read. A love letter with so many touching moments. One of my favourite: “He remember each of the very first times he saw her, he hides those pictures as far from the rain as he can”. ❤️

Meh. Quick read. Not much to it, other than the ramblings of the main character. The story line was pretty flat, mindless, but slightly entertaining.

Brutal. Painful read.

Other than the last 100 pages, this story was strange and lovely. But, the ending became long winded. Overall I liked the book; it was interestingly weird.
