Here's a rare thing - a Fredrik Backman I didn't absolutely adore. I enjoyed it, I just wasn't as enraptured as I usually am. It has FB's familiar ultra-readable flow, but I failed to fully connect with it emotionally. It was, for me, perhaps a little too whimsy-mimsy - the imaginary land device got a tad tedious/repetitive & all the personal connections were a bit contrived. And the MC is just out-there unrealistic/unconvincing. But still a Pick!
