"Art is what we leave of ourselves in other people."

Teenagers on a pier, in that last moment before have to grow up. Memorialized forever in the form a painting. This painting is so beautiful, that many people love it. It is in the moment that this painting that is being show in an art house for an auction is the catalyst to a whole host of people and moments colliding together. That is our story.

I love this author. I always know the story is going to be beautiful - beautifully written with amazing characters that are both flawed and perfect. I was scared to start this one - because I knew it would emotionally wreck me, but I was so excited and scared to miss out - because I love this author's work.

In the end, it's another beautiful story that made me laugh, cry and remember what it is to be human. It's messy and ugly and beautiful and so amazing. Thank you, Mr. Backman. Another amazing story.
