I love Backman and the way he writes. This book is not getting as high of a rating as I normally give a Backman book. While I enjoyed reading (and listening) to this book, the ending fell flat to me. The majority of the book was funny and insightful and just really fun. The ending felt... not right. I feel like I was, however, seeing glimpses of Backman's style of writing found in Beartown, my first one of his books and one of my favorites, in the end of this one. So that was interesting.
Overall, a good story with a bummer of an ending - I enjoyed the first book that Britt-Marie originated from, My Grandmother Told Me To Tell You She's Sorry, better.
