Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Britt-Marie is different. She has left her wayward husband, Kent. She pushes her way into a job as caretaker in a community rec center in a small, dying town called Borg. She is possibly OCD, and she does have a very soft heart underneath it all.
I feel unqualified to review this book as I couldn't get involved. The characters made me feel like I wanted to run and never see or hear from them again. I couldn't become involved with the characters and this made the reading of the book very hard going.
I am in an extreme minority with this story and I do feel bad that I can't give a better review. I loved A Man Called Ove and will still be reading books from this author.
