Your rating:
It's so hard for me to review Fredrik Backman's books because I feel like I can't do them justice. His books just work so damn well for me as a reader.
I love how he creates characters that I feel like I know right away, and the characters in My Friends are no exception. The structure also worked really well for me.
I honestly can't wait to reread this someday.
