“A year turned into several years, and several years turned into all the years. One morning you wake up with more life behind you than in front of you, not being able to understand how it’s happened”

“When Britt-Marie hears the knock she has been hoping for it for so long that she jumps out of bed and stumbles down the stairs like a complete lunatic. It’s obviously not at all like her, highly uncivilized in every possible way. She has not run down stairs like this since she was a teenager, when your heart reaches the front door before your feet.”
Oh, to have a romance that makes you feel this way at age 60+

Britt-Marie makes me smile and laugh with her AWKWARD habits

“He points cheerfully at the police car. Then at the bamboo screen.
Then at the rain that has started falling again. As rain does in Borg. Which
must obviously be quite pleasant for the rain, not having anything better to do with its time.”

The sarcasm in this book is unmatched 💀
