Backman is an author I‘ll read without question, and this book was no exception. His characters are the kind that linger long after the story ends—flawed, lovable, and profoundly human. The life lessons are woven in with humor and heart, making me laugh and cry in equal measure. It‘s a reminder that love often finds us where we least expect it, and that family is more than just blood. Book #49 in 2025
