Kind of

Kind of, Sort of, Maybe, But Probably NotKind of, Sort of, Maybe, But Probably Not by Imbi Neeme
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Generally I feel that reading this book was a waste of time.
All the characters were remote to me and I was either bored or disgusted with their way of entertaining themselves.
I felt some sympathy to the main characters - Phoebe, Suzy , but for me descriptions of their feelings and actions was very, very simplistic and naive.

The Friends

My FriendsMy Friends by Fredrik Backman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Full respect to the author, he managed to make me vulnerable, to shed a tear, to feel spasm in my heart.
It lasted for half of a book, then cracks appeared.
I looked closer on the other face of a lovely FOUR - stealing, making mess, throwing shopping trolley in an abyss. And an overwhelming contempt for security guards.
Could F. Backman write a book about friendship among security guards?

The last third of the book was annoying, I just wanted to finish it and the author employed every possible trick to make it longer.
