It was fine, though not this author’s best. The characters never cohered, but the climactic moments were exciting.

Light and easy. Not my favorite in the series, but you can’t go wrong with the laundry club ladies. Always entertaining and cute!

Entertaining love story that's more than just fluff. A great beach read, but also a look at former child stars, perception vs reality, and real love vs Insta-love.

Heartbreaking, heartwarming, funny, sad, charming, poignant—this book hits many emotions. Fredrik Backman knows people, and his characters are multi-dimensional, complex, and charming. The book is a story within a story, as the retelling of one remarkable summer for four teenage friends is shared during a train ride. Chance encounters, special connections, and the power of good friendship, especially during teenage years. Highly recommend.

The plot was fairly predictable, but the descriptions of the unusual setting, the weather and the seed vault made for an interesting read.

I fell in love with the characters of this book. I could not put it down and finished it in less than a week. I immediately wanted to start the next book of the series.

Decent follow up from book 1. Likable characters. Somewhat predictable ending. Will follow up with book 3

The Sour Grape was a book based on how you can be angry all the time or be thankful and considerate. It taught me that my actions effect other people and I should be kind. The Sour Grape is a very, very fun book to read and it has cool illustrations.

I’m biased to any story set in Scotland, but this was such an interesting and unexpected one. I did not anticipate how much the lore of the region would play, and it was a great surprise.

I think it had too many different points of view and I didn’t enjoy the back and forth timelines but overall it was a decent story. I really liked reading from the state trooper’s point of view the most.
