4.0

I can only compare to A Man Called Ove, but Britt-Marie Was Here dripped with Backman's unique style and voice, which I love. As with Ove, it's an uphill climb trying to understand the characters, but the payoff is sweet. It didn't get me in the feels as much as Ove, so it's only getting four stars, but I did love it and would recommend!
