The Red Address Book (Review)

The Red Address Book by Sofia Lundberg

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I saw this book and read the synopsis, I thought it could be a great story. When I read that it talked about Paris I simply couldn’t resist. I have to say that I had just read a book about a similar topic, but I really wanted to read The Red Address Book so I just crossed my fingers and hoped that it would be different and unique, and it was.

This is a compelling and gripping story about a young woman who has gone through so much and now waits for her future to come. She has lost many things and she talks about all the important people in her life, how they changed it and how her life was in different stages.

There were some parts that were not easy to read, and there were some parts that were extremely emotional and made my heart ache, but I can say that it is a beautiful story. I liked Doris, she was a strong woman, and she was admirable and determined. Jenny was a nice character as well, and I really liked Gösta too. It was enjoyable reading about Paris and New York and also a little bit about Sweden.

The final part was very intense and I had a huge knot in my throat, but it was beautifully written and it was absolutely touching. Overall, I enjoyed the story, it was amazing and I would definitely like to read more books by Sofia.
