Super fun audiobook I picked up after a bookclub member recommended it. It's awesome so far and a bit funny. Very unique perspective.

Honestly, writing was good. Not feeling it. Need something lighter. Also, unlikely to pick it back up. Just so many good books in the world

It is pretty crazy. I don't know many people who have active and inactive TB around me. Very sad that it is so prevalent in so many other areas in the world and we can prevent and treat it.

This book is a masterpiece, and by far Fredik Backman's most beautiful work of art. I cried three times and found it so relatable. This has been so far my favorite as I did not find it as fake or overly optimistic as his previous books.

The way he brings everything together, that is his art.
