I think everyone should read trigger warnings about this book even though they’re spoilers. I need a second to process and shake that off.

I fear I know where this is going and I’m not sure I would’ve picked this book up if I’m correct. I’ll still keep reading, but as a woman, I fear I know what Backman is exploring in this one.


Small town, beloved athletes left unchecked, sexism, and a mother’s intuition. I think my hearts about to break.
