Background
“Britt Marie Was Here” is a spin off of My Grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry. In this book, Britt-Marie has left her husband and found a job in an economically depressed town. There she meets some unexpected friends and learns a lot about herself.
My Thoughts
I really didn’t have a good attitude going into this book. Britt-Marie was my least favorite character in his earlier novel. Yet, it was so good… So I read this one. Despite the slow start, it got better and soon I wasn’t having to force my way forward. By the end, it earned a solid ok. There just wasn’t many people in the book I can empathize with. Everyone is not particularly likeable in there own way which, though realistic, isn’t that fun to read about.
Recommendation
Not a bad book but I would pass on this one.
