Thank you Amazon Publishing and NetGalley for the eARC of The Answer is No!  All opinions in this review are my own.

The Beartown series by Fredrik Backman is one of my favorites so I was excited to read a shorter (and lighter) story by him.  Backman is able to expertly describe the human condition in a way that many people can relate to.  In The Answer No, it is trying to ignore you neighbors so that you can get back to what you want to do.

All Lucas wants to do is play his new video game but because one of his neighbors left a frying pan in the recycling room, he gets roped into finding the culprit by members of the HOA.  The story gets more and more ridiculous as the time goes on until finally Lucas actually steps in.  

Overall, this was a light and fun read by a fantastic author.
