Summary
This week we're discussing My Friends by Fredrik Backman and once again, we didn't all have the same opinion. We talk about what we loved, what didn't quite work for us, and why this bestselling novel has connected with so many readers. Along the way, we dive into friendship, found family, parenting, grief, and the moments in the book that sparked the biggest conversations around the table.
