  "Good for Fredrik Backman fans" by Silversolara (see profile) 08/28/25

We meet two women and many quirky characters in this emotional read.
We meet Edith who has Alzheimer's and whose son is her caregiver. Edith wants to find the love of her life who left her at the bus stop.

Yes, she is at the bus stop every day looking for Sven. She has been waiting a long time and talks to other people as she sits on the bus stop bench. Many people think she’s homeless and do things for her.

We also meet Sophia who owns a flower shop and who is trying to find someone to spend time and her life with, but she has a lot of quirky things. She doesn't like to kiss and doesn’t trust anyone.

She actually meets Edith’s son Blade as he is in Sweden looking for Sven.

These three characters will pull at your heartstrings as you hope for the best for what each is looking for.

Those readers who enjoy Fredrik Backman will enjoy this book.

I do have to say it was a bit confusing, but a good read. 4/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
