Léa's Reviews > My Friends

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(⭐️)
It's difficult to write a review for a book when even thinking about it reduces you to tears, but I'll attempt it anyway.

This was AMAZING. Fredrik Backman has such a way with words: description, storytelling, his ability to perfectly examine, pick apart and display characters... that makes me so thankful to be a reader. My Friends is a story of loss, infatuation, friendship, childhood and on moving on. It carries flaws (characters, never in writing), that make you feel as if the characters are standing right in front of you, and my gosh are they real in my brain. The plot, as heartbreaking as it was heartwarming, examines what it means to live on the fringes of society and find the joy in what is left. This book is human at its core.

I'll recommend this forever!
