  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes

5.0

This was my first Backman book and I listened to the audio. The way that he layered in so many POVs to tell a smooth and succinct story. 

My only frustration was just that this story is so true to so many across the world and it is so frustrating that we continue to perpetuate a rape culture world and continuously place more value on men or masc. presenting over women/ femme presenting people.
