This week, hosts Taryn and Chelsea review their second  Fredrick Backman novel and the different ways they viewed this novel. This story features a very grumpy, old curmudgeon and his journey to rediscovering the joys of life and connection with others who are not total idiots. Please be aware of the heavy trigger warnings on this book, particularly in regard to suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicide, please call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 (para ayuda en español, llame al 988). The Lifeline provides 24-hour, confidential support to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress.
