I came here after Ove. This isn't working. Every single character is heartbroken, has a gut wrenching back story or is portrayed as selfish and evil. Surely there must be neutral person in that entire universe. One mature adult? One functioning parent? Is Fredrik Backman okay?🤔

"And then she left him alone in a world where he couldn't understand the language"

This is soooo good in a sad hilarious heart aching way

Very silly and fun so far

😐I dislike the gore, the blood, the plot, the dark/creepy themes and most of the characters

This book is a crime against every beloved side character who gets their own story ever

Harry, nooooooooo

Harry, I spent an audible credit on this, what are you doing

This seems to be written for a very young audience in which case it should have a lot more going than a love story and should not be discussing Caspian's biceps

This book seems to be written for a very young audience. In which case it probably shouldn't have more things going in rather than the love story.

No thoughts just weeping

Also I know nearly nothing about the history of that region, someone please tell me is it historically accurate?

This is so very very good

"You do not have to understand the path to follow it"🔥🔥🔥

"You can't only see the darkness, what about the light?"

I am perplexed and hearbroken, what is happening

'Joy had left no room for fear"

Did we survive the longest cliffhanger to fall into angst?

Here's the thing Edith, speak up!!!!

Edith: i have learned from my mistakes, I will do better in book four

Narrator voice: shaking his head, no words, just muffled sobbing

"You must trust that one day love will be kind to you"😭

She cut the cinnamon roll into pieces😭😭😭

And then we took the Gabriel Oaks, the Cinnamon Roll and cut it in peaces😭😭😭😭

Oh Edith, you silly confident goose

This book is stressing me out 😂

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

In my best Islington voice: Ah

Maybe Pierce is a time traveler because he cannot manage to be a suitor within the confines of his era. Bro, be serious.

Is Beth Bower about to deliver the greatest bait and switch since The Hunger Games

NOOOOOOOO, you can't do that. YOU CAN'T
Who is fighting dirty now?


THAT'S IT. I am challenging Beth Brower to a duel.

Does subscribing to her patreon offer duel privileges

"I AM QUITE PUT OUT EMMA"

The story is quirky and charming and adorable and yet this "let's define the relationship" they have going on is too contemporary. I might as well be reading a modern romance in period costumes.

This is a carto9ny fantasy of course, and Emma already had modern sensibilities.I think we were all willing to overlook, but this is too much.
