“This hurts too much to touch with words.”

Oh Fredrik Backman you’re paying for my therapy after this…

I felt so at home and seen between the pages of these stories and in the characters. It’s so raw and emotional and true, and shows us unfiltered humanity at its core: the most awful things we’re capable of but also our incredible goodness. And although I’m sad it’s over, these characters are tucked away into my heart and I’ll look for Benji Ovich in everything and everyone around me.
