What a delightful book! As annoying as Britt Marie seemed in My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, I never expected to come to love her so. She and the town of Borg became a part of my heart. I have enjoyed Backman's books more with each one I read!

I liked this book but some parts were boring. You have to laugh and cry with Britt-Marie and her OCD and feel sorry for her. She left her cheating husband and was on her own the first time in her life. She decided she had to get a job in case she died and no one knew would find her.
None of Fredrik Bachman's previous books were as good as "A Man Called Ove", which won me over completely. This one was just okay in my opinion.

I've enjoyed two of Backman's books and couldn't finish two others. Interesting writing style, and quirky characters but Britt-Marie just didn't hold my interest long enough to finish.
I kept trying to put myself in her place, having left her cheating husband and never having lived on her own. With her lack of social skills, it's a tough life. But even the soccer team didn't seem to draw me in. So off it goes into book swap land, hope someone else enjoys!
