This was my first book by Backman and will not be my last. When I say this book is hilarious I mean will literally have you laughing out loud. There are a few sentimental moments like knowing why the robbery was being committed in the first place, hearing some of the characters backstories, and  other things that really made you think. 

I was back and forth with trying to understand and figure who the bank robber was. I read the ebook along with the audio and it was the best experience ever. Highly suggest pairing audio with a physical or ebook because it makes it funnier and you might miss something without both. 

But the book was basically about a bank robbery that technically never happened and a group of people being held hostage. They were literally the worse hostages ever. The bank robber said get on the floor and everyone had a reason why they weren’t getting on the ground. 😂😂😂😂 Every time I heard the realtor say House Tricks “Hoooow’s tricks” I died laughing. If that went over your head it’s okay it took me a minute to get it too. 

Then with the whole apartment situation, the pizza, and name introductions 🫠 throughout the book the author is like this book is about idiots lmao. But seriously aside from it being comical there were a few life lessons thrown in there. We don’t realize how connected we actually are in life or how the things we experience in the world have effects on those around us. 

I could really go on and on about this book but I’ll leave it at please read it then after you read it comeback and tell me how amazing you thought it was too‼️
