Recently I asked the author about what she reading. Her reply:
My Friends by Fredrik Backman.

I’m in awe with the way Backman portrays friendship and emotion with such remarkable tenderness and authenticity. His characters reveal love, loyalty, guilt, and forgiveness through subtle gestures and shared silences. Backman captures the fragility of human connection, showing how friendships endure through vulnerability, miscommunication, and unwavering compassion. When I’m working on my own books, I like to read Backman and remind myself how much power there is in what isn’t said and how much depth can be accomplished with such economy.
