How is a book about a horse making me cry?? THE LAYERS!!!!! There is so much depth to this story, oh my goodness. This book is shaping up to become my favorite of 2026!

It’s also making me appreciate my wild puppy dog on a whole new level.

This is the first book I’ve enjoyed reading in awhile!

We are only two chapters in and I’m hooked!

This is the first children’s book I’ve read aloud to my kids in a while and not been bored out of my mind by the main characters thoughts being as shallow as a puddle!

I’ve read one page and I’m already crying 😭

All I've read is the back cover and the Acknowledgments and I already have goosebumps from of the anticipation to start reading! I'm so excited to read this book!

Definitely kept my attention, but I cannot do thrillers anymore! It made me feel jumpy in my own house, I don’t like that!

This book encouraged me to get out there and start living again right where I am.

Fredrik Backman is.the.best. 16 pages in, I could close this book right here and it would be the best thing I’ve read all year.

Like a hallmark movie but better.

“That’s when I saw the truth: I wanted to be home educate. I wanted to know things. In a fit of amazement, I realized: I loved learning! We shifted from mom as homeschool teacher to mom as a partner in a shared learning adventure.”

I don’t know if I liked the audiobook or if I just liked Tom Hanks reading me a story.
