What an adorable gem of a book! I just loved it. The book alternates between the man's view (Benny) of the relationship and the women's view (Shrimp). Just delightful and hilarious.

Quirky and fun story of an odd couple from his and her perspectives. Finished in one sitting, I could not put it down.

A charming delightful book. Loved the way it was written (in mans view then womans view) you couldn't wait to see what each one felt. Read in the back author is writing a sequel; hope so as the ending made me want more. Being Norwegian I enjoyed the fact that the author
wrote this as a Swedish love story. A quick read & a feel good book.

Shrimp = widow who visits hubby's grave almost every day. Mulls over what went wrong with her marrage. Benny = plants trees, grounds keeper (creepily stalks Shrimp). One day they look at one another and decide they are seeing each other really for the first time.....what just happened here.?.?.?.?.?... I do not think that this was a romantic affair of the heart. In fact I was creeped out by Benny and mostly frustrated with the pathetic female character Shrimp. I'm sorry I picked up this trash.

Besides the fact that I kept trying to call this book "Benny and Joon," it was an enjoyable, quick read. The characters were interesting, though I would have liked a little more character development. The only REAL problem I had with the book was that, even though it takes place in Sweden, my mind kept telling me it was England... Something about the way the book read screamed English. But all in all, enjoyable... I'd recommend it for a time when you just want to kick back and read without having to concentrate too much (which for me is most of the time!).
