Hey there, friends! 🌟 I just wrapped up the short story “The Answer Is No” by Fredrik Backman, and wow, I’m giving it a full 5 stars on Goodreads! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

This little gem packs such a powerful punch in just a few pages. Backman has this incredible way of capturing the complexity of human emotions and relationships, and this story is no exception. It dives into the struggle of saying no and the pressure we often feel to please others, all while weaving in humor and heart. I found myself nodding along, recognizing those feelings of guilt and expectation—so relatable! 

What I love most is how Backman manages to balance the serious with the absurd, making you laugh while also prompting some real introspection. It left me thinking about the importance of setting boundaries and how sometimes, saying no is the best answer for our own well-being. 

If you haven’t checked it out yet, do yourself a favor and grab it! It’s a quick read but one that lingers long after you’ve turned the last page.
