I had my first experience with Fredrik Backman a few months ago when we read "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry" for Book Club. While his writing is definitely unique, I couldn't help but fall in love with the way in which he tells a story. When I saw that this Novella, "The Deal of a Lifetime" was available on Audio and was only a quick 45-minute read, I immediately jumped right in! 

This story follow a young girl that is dying from cancer and a man that while he's lived what some may view as a fulfilling life, it's been far from perfect. He's presented with a potential "Deal of a Lifetime". 

This novella was written beautifully and I feel that even though it was so short, I connected to each of the characters and was invested in the story and what was going to happen. And, no surprise here; but I cried! 

I highly recommend giving this a go if you're a Fredrik Backman fan or if you're looking for a cute and heartfelt short story!
