Justin Winokur's Read Books: Blog 4
Thursday, December 11, 2025, 10:57 PM
By: Fredrik Backman
Translated By: Neil Smith
Narrated by: Marin Ireland
Length: 13 hrs and 22 mins
Release date: 05-06-25
I absolutely enjoyed it. Very reminiscent of Anxious People in its style and prose. Nobody can say "idiot" with so much love and admiration as Fredrik Backman and/or the reading of Marin Ireland. Great reflection on life, friendship, and grief. I thought it was very sweet though occasionally drifted into both cheesy and saccharine. I would recommend it strongly but it missed the 5-stars for me.

I know it got all kinds of awards and recognition but I wasn't as in to it. It was good enough but I found the spanglish to be both very realistic (I guess) and difficult. I didn't understand everything and felt like I missed some of it.

Maybe a bit overhyped about changing my view of the world. Or maybe I am too old.
