Prachtig uitgewerkte karakters met een mooie brug wat kunst kan zijn en betekenen.

"You can choose to be alone, but no one chooses to be left."

Louisa met the artist, and they shared a very meaningful time together. The artist never wanted to be famous, always saw people as people, and saw something special in Louisa. The artist had a wish for Louisa, and Ted made sure to make that happen. Louisa and Ted spend a lot of time together, where they tell each other a lot of stories about their lives & moments with their friends. They are both grieving people who have passed away, and they are keeping them alive by telling their stories. Grief brought Ted & Louisa together. Together they shared experiences and made new memories, two different people who have so much in common. You just simply have to listen to their stories and be open to their perspective! All the stories are being told with a lot of attention to detail while Fredrik also takes the reader back to that moment.

"Sometimes we remember the last moments before a great catastrophe as more beautiful than they actually were."

This book is about friendship, grief, and so much more. This is truly such an amazing, wonderful book. The conversations are deep but also lighthearted. Interesting, and it made me think differently about life. Fredrik's writing is so poetic and real (there are so many meaningful quotes). He has such a great understanding of people, all kinds of people, different ages and genders. It's so respectful, everyone is different; that is really beautiful, and I love how Fredrik portrayed that! His books feel so real.

I love all Fredrick Backman’s books but I think this was the best. Made me cry, made me laugh, kept me up all night & sneaking off in the day to read. His characters are incredible and the writing pure poetry.

Incredible. Just incredible. I cried and laughed all at the same time and finished the book in a day. Couldn’t put it down.

This book is the definition of human experience. Painful, scary, but if you have humans to love and love you back, you can find pockets of laughter and joy amongst the dark parts and all is worth.

The book is this, sadness and joy, sorrow and friendship.

Don't trust the author, he misleads you for half the book.

Book received in good condition.

My Friends is heartfelt and beautifully written. I loved how the author captured friendship, grief and the quiet ways people shaped each other’s lives. It made me smile, it made me tear up, and it lingered with me long after I finished the last page. Highly recommended!

I loved the characters . It’s a very unique story with well developed characters most of whom you’re going to love
