The Answer is No by Fredrik Backman is a short novella. It is witty and insightful, in the way only Fredrik Backman can be, about the perils of living modern life as an introvert.
I love most of Fredrik Backman’s books so I was excited for this small taste of his writing. It includes some absolutely hilarious observations about life and, specifically, married life. It’s basically feels like the middle-aged equivalent of When You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
