I needed some Backman writing in my life. I enjoyed getting to see Britt-Marie’s character explored more in-depth. Backman has a wonderful way of unraveling people to shine a positive light on their often misconstrued “flaws.” He also has a way of making you fall in love with a sport, even if you couldn’t give a hoot about sports, to begin with. This is a story of putting yourself out there and stepping away from people who don’t appreciate you.
