This series is amazing. The characters are so well developed and the story line is so captivating. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
First of all, I have to say that I absolutely loved Britt-Marie Was Here. It was such a charming, heartwarming, and uplifting story. I loved the characters, the setting, and the overall message of the book.
The story is about a 63-year-old woman named Britt-Marie who is forced to retire from her job as a secretary after 40 years. She then moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere called Borg, where she finds a job as the caretaker of a rundown recreation center.
At first, Britt-Marie is extremely out of her element in Borg, and she doesn’t know how to connect with the people there. However, she slowly starts to open up and form relationships with the people in the town. She also starts to find joy in the simple things in life, like taking care of the recreation center and spending time with her new friends.
The overall message of the book is that it’s never too late to start over and find happiness. I think this is a really important message, especially for people who are approaching retirement age. I think the book will inspire people to follow their dreams, no matter how old they are.
I would highly recommend Britt-Marie
